Exclusive or, does it exist in Japanese?


How do I translate “Please select either A or B.”

Can the “or” be translated directly, or would I have to work around it like

AもBは, ひとつを選ぶください。




**または** and **どちらか** ( **いずれか** is more the formal version, **どっちか** is more
casual) can only be exclusive.

> AまたはB、一つだけ選んでください。

This a pretty strong way to say only choose one.

In cases where you don't have to be so emphatic,

> AかBのどっちかを選んで。

is a normal way to say it.
