[edit]vai
- (coordinating, in question clauses) or (exclusive or; either what comes before or what comes after)
- Onko se suuri vai pieni?
- Is it big or small?
Usage notes
[edit]- While it is often said that tai is to be used in affirmative clauses and vai is to be used in question clauses, a more precise difference is that tai is an inclusive or, while vai is an exclusive or. For instance, while Söitkö sinä leivän tai hedelmät? and Söitkö sinä leivän vai hedelmät? are both correct, the former asks in a yes or no question, whether you ate either bread or fruit or not, while the latter asks which you ate, the bread or the fruit.

[edit]Latvian
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Borrowed from Livonian vȯi or dialectal Estonian vai; compare other Finnic languages (Finnish vai, Standard Estonian või). First found occasionally in Latvian writings in the 17th century, initially as a conjunction, then as a particle, it became more frequent in the 18th century; but only in the 19th century did it really strike root in the language.[1] Likely unrelated to Sanskrit वा (vā).
Pronunciation
[edit]Conjunction

- used to suggest vagueness, uncertainty, or a veiled threat; usually followed by ellipsis (...); or, or else...
- ja labi grib, to darbu var veikt parasts dežurants, vai brigadieris, vai (...) ― if (he) really wants, an ordinary man on duty can do this job, or a brigadier, or... (= or someone like that)
- vai tas kāds noziegums, kauns, vai? — is this a crime, a shame, or what?
- jums tas jādara, vai... ― you all have to do this, or else...
- used to introduce conditional subordinate clauses; whether, if
- nav zināms, vai to darījis viņš ― it is not known whether he did it
- es nezinu, vai to spēšu ― I don't know if I will be able to
- pasaki, vai es esmu nodevējs ― tell me if I am a traitor
