Usage notes

Nebo is used both as an exclusive and an inclusive or. To avoid ambiguity, "buď ... (a)nebo ..." ("either ... or ...") can be used for exclusive or; however, the conjunction buď and consequently this structure is never used in questions. Adding "nebo obojí" ("or both") etc. can be used for inclusive or.

Dáte si kávu nebo čaj? ― Do you want coffee or tea?
Dáte si ke snídani kávu, nebo čaj? ― What do you want for breakfast – coffee or tea?
Měli byste si dát buď kávu, anebo čaj. ― You should have either coffee or tea.
