question
usage nuances adverbs
What is the difference between どの+noun+も vs 毎+noun for “Every (noun)”?
どの can be a translation of "every" or "any" in a lot of cases. Example:

  * **どの** 席も空いている。 ( **Every/any** seat is empty/available.)

毎 for a similar meaning is typically a prefix to form a larger word. It's
generally not productive, and the word often has to do with time. Example:

  * 彼は **毎日** 出勤する。 (He comes to work **everyday**.)
  * 彼は **毎回** 失敗する。 (He fails **every time**.)
