entweder

Conjunction

 * 1) either

Usage notes

 * Used only in the pair "entweder ... oder", like either-or in English, or in Italian.
 * Syntactically, may be treated like a coordinating conjunction or like an adverb. In the latter case, inversion takes place without there being any change in meaning. Compare:
 * Entweder du gehst nach Hause oder du bleibst noch.
 * Entweder gehst du nach Hause oder du bleibst noch.
 * Either you go home or you stay some more.
