Hello! I'm Elvin. I'm currently a doctoral student in the humanities in the U.S., studying comparative literature. I speak Chinese and English fluently and know Japanese relatively well. I can also read Manchu, but I cannot speak it. I've been studying French, German, Tibetan, and Mongolian. Although I'm a bit of an introvert, I have always enjoyed learning new languages and traveling to different places in the world. I really enjoying reading, and I also practice yoga and meditation in my free time.

    Hi! I'm a doctoral student in the humanities in the U.S. I'm fluent in English and Chinese, relatively decent in Japanese (passed N2 a few years back), and I'm currently studying French, German, Tibetan, and Mongolian. If you'd like to be a language partner, send me a message!

    Labor book

    In our country we used to have a document called "Labor book" that recorded the holder's work experience in detail. From now on that information will be recorded in digital form.
    I am wondering what system works for recording personal work experience in the U.S.

    If you want to say one but not the other, it's 食べるか、または飲む。 食べないか、または飲まない。the か really only work well with nouns, and you need to be a little more careful when it's a whole clause. if it's neither/nor, then 食べたり飲んだりしない。sounds a little better to me. the "or" doesn't make that much sense in the last tense...what are you trying to say with the third one? these are not the only way you can say these things. if the "or" is part of a question you can also use それとも. if it's not strictly one or the other but not both, 食べたり飲んだりする is more than enough (and you can even drop the final する in casual speech). this post might also be helpful. https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/15377/differences-between-それとも-または-もしくは-あるいは

    I would agree the second is more grammatically rigorous, and it's probably what you want to use if you're writing a paper or something. However, the first one is perfectly comprehensible. In casual speech and on the internet, you might even sound (or look) more natural using the first expression, since it has almost become a set phrase at this point. Great question!
