1. Basic Definitions and Usage

Either: Jab do options mein se kisi ek ko chuna ja sakta hai, toh hum "either" ka use karte hain.

Neither: Jab do options mein se dono ko mana karte hain ya accept nahi karte, toh hum "neither" ka use karte hain.

Example:

• Na to chai hai na coffee (donon mein se koi nahin)

2. Using Either/Neither with "or" and "nor"

"Either...or" ka matlab hota hai "ya toh...ya."

• Tum ya toh mere saath aa sakte ho ya yahin ruk sakte ho.

"Neither...nor" ka matlab hota hai "na toh...na."

Neither = "Not one nor the other" (dono mein se koi bhi nahi / Na toh ye, na woh).
