Either/or questions - Keuzevragen
Some questions are neither open >question-word questions, nor do they require an answer the way >yes/no questions do. Either/or questions provide the addressee with a choice, as in the following examples:
| Studeer jij Nederlands of Spaans? |
| Do you study Dutch or Spanish? |
| Regeert er in België een coalitie of zit er één partij in de regering? |
| Is there a coalition government or a one-party government in Belgium? |
The addressee is expected to choose an answer from the options offered. So the reply to the first question is expected to be either ‘Dutch' or ‘Spanish', not another language.
