If or whether ??

[fedex2]

jaka jest zasadnicza róznica między tymi spójnikami ?

pozdrawiam, Joa

[ampolion]

If to w zasadzie jeśli.
Whether... or... to badź to, bądź to, czy tak czy też tak.

[jarka63]

W znaczeniu "czy" da sie uzywać wymiennie, choć jesli ma poprzedzać długie
zdanie podrzędne, to lepiej wybrać "whether", ktore jest też bardziej formalne.
Np.: He asked me if I knew his sister.
He asked me whether the latest issue of Foodie magazine sitting on the
top shelf

whether
Whether is used in reported clauses and conditional clauses.
used in reported clauses
You can use a clause beginning with whether after a reporting verb
such as `know', `ask', or `wonder'. You use whether when you are mentioning two
or more alternatives. You put whether in front of the first alternative, and or
in front of the second one.
I don't know whether he's in or out.
I was asked whether I wanted to stay at a hotel or at his home.
When the two alternatives are opposites, you do not need to mention
both of them. For example, instead of saying `I don't know whether he's in or
out', you can simply say `I don't know whether he's in'.
Lucy wondered whether Rita had been happy.
She didn't say whether he was still alive.
I asked Professor Fred Bailey whether he agreed.
to be continued

`whether...or not'
You can also mention the second alternative using or not. You put
or not either at the end of the sentence or immediately after whether.
I didn't know whether to believe him or not.
The barman didn't ask whether or not they were over eighteen.
`if'
If can be used instead of `whether', especially when the second
alternative is not mentioned.
I asked her if I could help her.
I rang up to see if I could get seats.
reporting uncertainty
If someone is uncertain about taking a particular course of action,
or uncertain how to respond to a situation, you can report this using a clause
consisting of whether and a `to'-infinitive.
I've been wondering whether to retire.
He didn't know whether to feel glad or sorry at his dismissal.
used in conditional clauses
You can add a clause containing whether and or not to a sentence to
indicate that something is true in any of the circumstances you mention.
He's going to buy a house whether he gets married or not.

-I don't know whether/if I'll come.I feel like sick.
Both intrinsically are the same but right now,I can't possibly think of the
specific usage of 'whether'.
-She asked me whether/if I was going to visit her.
The point is that you are not allowed to use it while creating the sentence of
the following sort: If I had...I would... etc.

I guess that one will make it clear to u:
>>>>>We are not sure whether to choose Spain as our destination or rather
France.<<<<

Hope that helps!!!!!

I wanna vomit (on you-sarcastic pig),that is to say: bring up digested food from
ur stomach.Inaczej: chce mi się żygać. You'd better purchase a better dictionary
or something or rather keep focused on ur grammar ;D

hv a nice day ;P

> "I feel like sick"

I feel sick. "Like" jest w tym zdaniu niepotrzebne, i niepoprawne.
I hope you feel "like" better now, and no longer want to throw up.

[a-gritos]

well,my mistake: I feel like sick is correct but not in this context. I wanted
to say: I feel like being sick :P The first sentence implies the way you
feel...so... that's right ;=)

[kisiulak]

Not to be too picky, but "I feel like being sick" would mean you feel like
pretending to be sick, or you want to be sick, but are not really sick.

But maybe that was your intent :)

[mudzyn7]

Tak, jak np. I feel like dancing - Chce mi sie tanczyc.
I feel like being sick, musi znaczyc -Chce mi sie CHCIEC wymiotowac.
I feel sick - chce mi sie wymiotowac.
Niezle tematy.)

[kisiulak]

Nie musi koniecznie chodzic o wymioty :)

Head, allergies, cold, hot flashes...

[mudzyn7]

Posluzylem sie przykladem, tylko...moze chodzic o Gonorrhea, meningitis or leukemia for all I know. Jakos nie chce mi sie smiac...

[kisiulak]

No mi raczej chodzilo o choroby ktore mozna czuc ;)
I FEEL sick :) I always feel sick... in the head... I do. :)

[mudzyn7]

>I always feel sick... in the head... I do. :)

You are not alone...)
