[The Interpreter]

Whether thường sử dụng trong trường hợp một trong hay. Thí dụ:

"Whether she loves me, I still love her"

Có nghĩa là "Cô ấy yêu tôi hay không yêu tôi, tôi vẫn yêu cô ấy"

Thay vì: "She loves me or she doesn't love me, I still love her"

Interpreter, isn't it, the sentence not very clear? I think it should be "Whether she loves me or not, I still love her" or "whether she doesn't love me any more , I still love her ?"
My English sucks, so I could be wrong. Please advise.

I definitely understand what you mean but these sentences should be correct:

Whether she loves me, I still love her
Whether she loves me or not, I still love her
Whether or not she loves me, I still love her

However, someone who is anal about the English language is going to jump on second and third sentences as "or not" is not necessary because "whether" expresses an alternative; as opposed to "if," which expresses a condition.

Dạ cho tớ hỏi "someone who is anal about the English language" có nghĩa là gì ạ?

Dạ cho tớ hỏi "someone who is anal about the English language" có nghĩa là gì ạ?

Anal is shorten for anal-retentive. It is a psychological term negatively used to describe someone who has personality traits associated with meticulousness and obstinacy. Anal is also used to describe a sex act, therefore it is not universally accepted. In fact, if you were to tell someone that he/she is anal or anal-retentive, it's rather vulgar and offensive.

The correct term that is universally accepted is OCD, shorten for obsessive compulsive disorder. OCD is a type of anxiety disorder that makes the person have upsetting thoughts called obsessions. They do things over and over again to perfect them. The repetitive actions are called compulsions.

For example, someone who has OCD will keep washing their hands repetitively. Another example is someone who is greatly bothered by a gramatically incorrect sentence. In short, người bị bệnh này cứng đầu lắm.

Nghĩa thường dùng của whether là thường trong các câu có tính nghi vấn dù hình thức của nó không phải là câu nghi vấn (question/interrogative).

I don't know whether I should go (or not) = Tôi không biết mình có nên đi hay không

Trong các câu report speech/ indirect speech ta hay gặp
