Neither /ˈnaɪ.ðə(r)/ (UK) or /ˈnaɪ.ðɚ/ (US), CEFR level B2, is a determiner used before a singular countable noun to refer to not one nor the other of two people or things, expressing complete negation of both options; it functions as a negative alternative to either, requires a singular verb in formal usage (e.g., Neither answer is correct), cannot be used with plural nouns directly or with articles (a/an/the), and applies strictly to pairs — for three or more items, none is used instead.
