Ar, arba

To say or in Lithuanian, you use ar or arba. The difference between them is that ar has more meanings than arba.

In questions where you have to choose between two things, ar is used:

Jis ar ji? He or she?
Aš ar tu? I or you?
Kas geresni: mes ar jūs? Who is better: we or you?
Kas eis: jie ar jos? Who will go: they or they?

In statements where you don't ask, arba is used:

Jis arba tu. He or you.
Kas eis? Jis arba ji. Who will go? He or she.
Aš arba Vytautas. I or Vytautas.

You can put ar or arba before the options:

Ar aš, ar tu? I or you?
Ar milda, ar Vytautas, ar Laimis, ar tu? Milda or Vytautas or Laimis or you?
Kas geresnis: ar tu, ar Milda? Who is better: you or Milda?

Arba tu, arba jis. You or he.
Arba milda, arba Vytautas, arba abu. Milda or Vytautas or both.

Kas geresnis: tu ar Milda? Arba aš, arba Milda. (Who is better: you or Milda? Me or Milda.)
