All languages>> Too / Either or Neither
Hello!
I'd like to know how do you say these words in your own language. In Spanish we say "también" (too) and "tampoco" (either/neither).
I know that in Italian you have at least two words for "too" which are "pure" and "anche" and two for "either/neither" which are "nepure" and "neanche".
Do you know any others? Do you have one or more words for those?

Ciao!

in italiano
in italian "too"= "anche" (and "also"=anche).

you can translate "either ... or" with "o ... o" and
"neither ... nor" with "ne' ... ne'", that is

either this or that = o questo o quello
neither this nor that = ne' questo ne' quello

In italian you can also say: "neither this nor that"="ne' questo e nemmeno quello"
or "ne' questo e neppure quello" or "ne' questo e neanche quello".

(NB neppure is with 2 p).

As far as I know you should have in German the following forms

"either ... or" = "entweder ... oder" and
"neither ... nor" = "weder ... noch"


Ciao,
Marco

PS
The e' in ne' ... ne' should be interpreted as an e with an acute accent, not with
an apostrophe.

In Danish
too= også

In sentences like "Det er han også" (He is that, too), "også" is equivalent to "too", whereas, when followed by a noun/nominal phrase, as in: "Han er også skakspiller" (He is also a chess player) it is equivalent to "also".

"either....or " would be "enten.....eller"

"neither....nor" is "hverken....eller"
