Each to their own

Informal Depends on context

What it really means

A polite response to a taste you do not share, meaning "everyone can like what they like — but I certainly do not like that". Mild disapproval wrapped in tolerance.

Chinese explanation
面对自己不欣赏的喜好时的礼貌回应,意思是萝卜青菜各有所爱——反正我是不爱。宽容的外表下藏着轻微的不认同。

Example conversation

A: I put pineapple and ketchup on my pizza. B: Each to their own, I suppose.
A:我吃披萨要加菠萝和番茄酱。 B:各人有各人的口味吧。
