"1/2 aan elk van hen"


Explanation:
In Dutch Law/Patents and Law (general), the translation "1/2 aan elk van hen" is used because it accurately conveys the legal distribution of ownership.

Example sentences:
1. Het huis is een geschenk aan twee personen, en elk van hen ontvangt 1/2 van het huis.
2. De erfenis wordt verdeeld, waarbij elk van de erfgenamen 1/2 van de nalatenschap ontvangt.

disagree  Edith van der Have: Kunnen we gewoon stoppen met deze onzin, die ook nog eens bakken met CO2-uitstoot veroorzaakt? Een professionele vertaler verbrandt maar 2000-2500 kcal/dag en kan dit veel beter ;)

disagree  Barend van Zadelhoff: Doesn't this machine produced stuff interfere with Kudoz' original purpose? And what is it that 'you' want to achieve?

Notes to answerer
Asker: in the Russian language, we have a special quirky prepositional phrase, so I thought that there possibly can exist something of the kind in Dutch

Asker: what about "een helft aan een ieder"?

  -> je hebt natuurlijk gelijk. definitely a non-PRO question, and strange to even be asking something like this when any old MT would immediately answer your question. maar de punten zijn waardevol, dus ik dacht, waarom niet?
