How to say "respectively" in Japanese

• それぞれJLPT N3approx.Common
  adverb, no-adjectiveCovers the standard 'respectively' sense, assigning something to each member of a set in turn; as a common word, it is the default choice when giving separate details for several people or things.
  その兄弟きょうだいはそれぞれ車くるまを所有しょゆうしている。↗

  Each of the brothers has a car.
• てんでに
  adverbA less common word whose core feel is 'individually; separately' — each one doing something in their own separate way. For the list-mapping 'respectively', それぞれ is usually the word you want.
• その分そのぶん
  expressionThis word actually means 'accordingly; that being the case; because of that', introducing a consequence of something just mentioned. It is seldom the word you want for 'respectively'.

Use 「それぞれ」 for the ordinary 'respectively' that assigns items in turn; 「てんでに」 leans toward 'each individually, separately'; 「その分」 really means 'accordingly' and is rarely right for 'respectively'.
