「Learn Japanese」 How-to use あるいは to link alternative possibilities

The grammar pattern あるいは is used to link two or more alternatives to the point wherein both (or all) alternatives are possible all at the same time. Given that, context usually implies that there is in fact a best choice amongst all the possibilities. The actual translation for the phrasing あるいは  is one that also particularly depends on the context in which it is being used, with the most common translations being simply “or,” and “either X or Y.” In other contexts, it can be more naturally worded as “possibly, alternatively, perhaps, in some cases, etc.” The kanji for あるい is 或(い), which translates to “some, one, or, possibly, a certain, etc.” This is the same ある we use when we say あるNOUN to mean “a certain NOUN,” “some NOUN,” etc. However, as is with that example, the ある in あるいは almost always appears in kana form. Additionally, あるいは is mostly used in formal speech or written language. 

Construction: あるいは  + NOUN あるいは  + CLAUSE

Example(s): 水曜日はどうですか？あるいは金曜日ですが。 Suiyoubi wa doudesu ka? Arui wa kinyoubi desuga. How does Wednesday sound? Another possibility would be Friday.

三時午後までにオフィスに宿題出をしてください。あるいはネットで出してください。 Sanji gogo made ni office ni shukudai (w)o dashite kudasai. Arui wa net de dashite kudasai. “Please turn in your assignment to my office by 3 P.M. Or, you can submit it online.”

彼は寝ていました。あるいは寝ていたふりをしていました。 Kare wa nete imashita. Aruiwa nete ita furi (w)o shite imashita. “He was asleep. Or perhaps he was just pretending to be asleep.”

Anime Example(s): 時々に選ばれた王たちは Tokodoki ni erabareta outachi wa “Every so often, a new king is chosen.” あるいは 生きて力を振るいー Arui wa ikite chikara (w)o furui “Some lived to exercise their power.” あるいは 死とともに去りー Arui wa shi to tomo ni sari “Others chose to pass on in death without leaving a mark.” またあるいはそれらを見守り続けた Mata arui wa sorera (w)o mimamoritsuduketa “And then there were those who chose to continually watch over their subjects.” *Example from episode 1 of K: Return of Kings
