To express that two options are false, use the two-part conjunction weder ... noch (neither ... nor).
Connecting traits and objects
When negating two nouns or adjectives, place weder directly before the first option and noch before the second.
| You wear neither wool nor cotton. | Du trägst weder Wolle noch Baumwolle. |
| I do not like your style, because it is neither chic nor modern. | Ich mag deinen Stil nicht, weil er weder schick noch modern ist. |
| The pattern is neither striped nor checkered. | Das Muster ist weder gestreift noch kariert. |
Connecting full clauses
You can also use weder ... noch to connect two independent clauses. Because weder and noch take the first position in their respective clauses, the verb must come immediately after them (verb inversion).
| Neither does he wear wool, nor does he buy cotton. | Weder trägt er Wolle, noch kauft er Baumwolle. |
| Neither is the shirt checkered, nor is it striped. | Weder ist das Hemd kariert, noch ist es gestreift. |
| Neither do we find your style flashy, nor do we like the pattern. | Weder finden wir deinen Stil auffällig, noch mögen wir das Muster. |
