| Apr 16, 2015 at 13:05 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @DCShannon: The OP apparently hasn't returned to ELL since posing the question. Not that I think the exact context makes much difference here, except that possibly one might differentiate on stylistic grounds. But the question doesn't seek style-based advice, just a straightforward ruling on whether the usage is "correct" (i.e. - valid). Some people seem to think "inanimate" whose is unacceptable, and/or that adjectival each is somehow grammatically invalid within the construction cited here. | |

| Feb 14, 2013 at 13:41 | comment | added | Alex Grilo | I was trying to ask this question in Quora: quora.com/Languages/Which-multiple-false-friends-are-there and the phrase I would like to write is " I would like to know sets of at least 3 words, whose each pair of words are false friends" | |

| Feb 13, 2013 at 3:55 | comment | added | Jim | I think we need a bit more of the sentence. It's not clear, at least to me, what is is you are really trying to convey here so I'm not sure if something like, "The set of element pairs such that each pair is ..." makes sense yet. I have a feeling you can get rid of the possessive altogether but until we have the whole sentence I can't be sure. | |

I think whose is more appropriate in case of person, not necessarily, but in most of the cases.
