Difference between ან and თუ
Can someone help me with explaining the difference between ან and თუ?

I know that both means "or" but also that it's used differently.

Many thanks :)

Answer

ან- for affirmative sentences, თუ- for interrogative. Any other explanations are redundant)

Answer

Hi Sebastian)
თუ:  Is this, for example, will you come to me or not? Do you have chocolate or not? (თქვენ ჩემთან მოხვალთ თუ არა? თქვენ გაქვთ შოკოლადი თუ არა?)
ან :An example of this, I will either come to you or not. (მე თქვენთან ან მოვალ ან არა)  Both are much the same, but with slight differences

Answer

This is the great question so far! So let me explain to you Sebastian, ჩაი თუ ყავა? ერთ-ერთი ჩაი/ყავა. რა აქვს მას: ჩაი თუ ყავა? მას აქვს ჩაი თუ მას აქვს ყავა?  "თუ" So one of them, but if you pay attention here we use the question. Here you are choosing one of them.
ჩაი ან ყავა: ერთ-ერთი: ჩაი/ ყავა. ის სვამს ჩაის ან ყავას. ის სვამს ჩაის ან ის სვამს ყავას.
Here we use "ან "  so it is your suppose what he/she drinks and we do not ask the question here.
hopefully, you understand if you will have more question please send me a pm. 
წარმატებები!
