Someone can please explain me the meaning of " nor "

It's quite difficult to me get the full meaning of this phrase: I found it strange that neither I NOR the day seemed in a mouring mood a mourning mood/ the mood for mourning* and I even felt even annoyed...

* the second version sounds more natural to me.


Hi Anthony 

I have corrected your text above. When you have the word "neither" in a sentence, you negate the second part with "nor". With "either" goes "or". Just remember the 'n's go together. 

Hope this helps! 

Best wishes, Carolina

It's like or but or is used with either and positive..either/or, neither/nor which is negative..in french and spanish it's "ni" i'm not sure in italian but that might help you understand
