Both, Either & Neither

Egy különleges topik, mivel a magyarban nincs ilyenünk:

2 dologra vonatkozó szavak.

Fordítani változatosan tudjuk, így praktilus inkább a logikáját megérteni, és annak megfelelően alakítani a magyar megfelelőjét (szintén nem tükörfordítjuk).

Both = this AND that (mindkettő, ez és az, stb.)
Either = this OR that (ez is, az is, egyik, bármelyik, stb.)
Neither = NOT this OR NOT that (sem ez, sem az, egyik sem, stb.)

Ez a különbség:
You can take both oranges. --> Lesz 2 narancsod is.
You can take either orange. --> Egy narancsod lesz.
You can take neither orange. --> Éhes maradsz.

Példák:
I really like both board games. I can't choose...
Would you be so kind to give me either a rum or a whisky, please?
Neither party attracts me, I am tired.

Egyes/többesszám

A 'both' után mindig többesszám következik (hiszen mindkettő), míg a másik kettőt egyes szám követ.
