Do these two sentences sound natural?
1. Each one of them has their own way to understand the world.
2. Each one of them has their way to understand the world.
Top answer
"own way" is appropriate here. "way of understanding" seems better than "way to understand". In everyday speech, many people would use "singular their" here.

- In careful or formal English, use "his", "her" or "his or her", depending on whether the group is all male, all female, or mixed/unknown.
