〜～ means "whether A or B": it names two possibilities and
says that what follows holds either way. Each half takes the plain form of a
verb or an い-adjective, or a bare noun or な-adjective.
、。
Whether you go or don't go, please decide quickly.
、いち1。
Whether by train or by bus, it takes one hour from here.
、。
Whether it's expensive or cheap, you should check the quality.
The two halves are a verb and its negative, a pair of opposites, or two
examples from the same group. What follows is a judgment, advice or a plan
that does not depend on the choice.
A noun or a な-adjective takes no before にしても.
- × 暇だにしても忙しいにしても → 暇にしても忙しいにしても
にしても, にしろ and にせよ
〜～ and
〜～ mean the same and are stiffer;
にせよ belongs mostly to writing. にしても is the one for conversation.
、。
Whether you agree or disagree, please write down your reasons.
