them/it

[navi tasan]

-"Didn't you see me? Don't you have eyes?"
Can one answer:
1-"Everybody has them (ie. eyes)."


-"Can't you smell it? Don't you have a nose?"
Can one answer:
2-"Everybody has it (ie. a nose)."
(instead of "Everybody has one."?)

I'd say 'one', as they each have a different nose. ;-)

Thanks Tdol,
But what would you do in the first case? Would you use "them" for "eyes", or would you say "Everybody has eyes."?

 

[Tdol]

In the first, 'them'is fine.;-)

Thanks Tdol.
