Beide und beides Ich have oftmals versucht, den Unterschied zu verstehen aber bin damit noch nicht klargekommen... Wie unterscheidet man sich, ob beide oder beides zu verwenden?! Beispiel: - "Willst du Mayo oder Ketchup?" - "(Beide oder Beides?)." - "Die zwei Mädchen sind beide nett." - "Ich mag auch (beide oder beides?)."

I can answer this from an English speaker's perspective. I use "beide" to mean "both" when I am talking in German about a noun-subject or an adjective. I use "beides" usually to mean "both of them", in reference to two things previously mentioned or understood.
