Forgive me if I’m wrong, but can’t どっち also be used instead of どちら, especially in speech? It seems as though it is marked wrong currently.
Hey
You are right!
It should have been accepted, but I have noticed that there were few examples where どっち weren’t added as alternative answer.
It should be working now
Sorry for the inconvenience!
In the video series from Japanese from Zero, George uses a similar construction except using か like so:
AかBどちらが
I assume this is just another way of phrasing it?
Hey and again, sorry for the slow answer (I will try my best to answer questions faster from now on!)
Yes, you are right!
This is another way of phrasing the same thing.
All below are correct alternatives:
サスケとナルトとどちら(のほう)が強い?
サスケとナルトとではどちら(のほう)が強い?
サスケとナルトではどちら(のほう)が強い?
サスケかナルトかどちら(のほう)が強い?
サスケかナルトどちら(のほう)が強い?
サスケとナルトのどちら(のほう)が強い?
If you want to say it more casually, どちら can be replaced with どっち, though it’s better stick to どちら if you are referring to humans.
I hope it helps,
Cheers!
In this sentence…
に階立てのマンションと普通の家とどちらが住んでみたい?
Which one would you rather live in, between a two-story apartment and a house?
I noticed that 立て, being affixed to 二階, changes the counter from ordinal to a cardinal number. Can this be done with other counters? Whats occurring here?
Seems like that should be provided as alternate option
