I.either [Brit ˈʌɪðə, ˈiːðə, Am ˈiðər, ˈaɪðər] DET When used as coordinating conjunctions either… or are translated by o… o, although the first o may be omitted: she must be either silly or very lazy = deve essere (o) stupida o molto pigra; you can have either tea or coffee = può prendere (o) tè o caffè; they can either phone me or send me a fax = possono (o) telefonarmi o mandarmi un fax. - When used as a conjunction in a negative sentence, either… or are translated by né… né, although the first né may be omitted: you're not being either truthful or fair = non sei (né) sincero né giusto. - When used as an adverb in a negative sentence, either can be translated by neppure, nemmeno or neanche; note that, while either is usually placed at the end of the sentence in this case, its Italian equivalent is at the beginning: I can't do it either = neanche io posso farlo. Note also that, if not + either is substituted by neither, the Italian translation does not change: I didn't go there either = neither did I go there = nemmeno io ci andai. - For examples and further uses, see this entry.

There are various types of trains in Italy. Local train services are provided either by Locali , which stop at almost every station, Interregionali , which link places in different regions, often tourist centers - these may run only on weekends or at certain times of the year - or Diretti , which travel both within and between regions and are generally faster than Locali . Express trains can be either Intercity , linking almost all Italian cities, or Eurostar , which serve only the most important cities. Travel on both these types of trains is subject to payment of a supplemental fare.
