別個・別箇|べっこbekko[0]heiban (flat)

1. no-adjectiveanother; different; separate; discrete
   その二ふたつの考かんがえはまったく別個べっこのものだ。↗

   Those two ideas are quite distinct.

• Synonym別べつNeutralThe most versatile word for 'another' or 'different', as in 「別の日」; 「別個」 is narrower, for things seen as separate, independent units.
• Synonym別々べつべつNeutralFor things kept or done separately from each other, as in 「別々に払う」; 「別個」 stresses treating each thing as an independent unit.
• Related離れ離れはなればなれCasualColloquial, for people or things scattered apart, as in 「家族が離れ離れになる」; 「別個」 centers on independent units.
• Antonym同一どういつWrittenA written, formal word for 'identical' or 'the same'; it stands opposite 「別個」 on whether things are the same or kept separate.

Use 「別個」 for things that are separate, independent units, as in 「別個に扱う」 and 「別個の問題」. For 'another' or 'different' pick 「別」, for each-separately 「別々」, for scattered apart 「離れ離れ」; the opposite is 「同一」.
