Read the explanation below to understand the nuance of how this grammar structure is used.

The Nuance: This is the formal way to ask for a comparison between two specific things. “This or that?”

Common Situation: “Between the 9mm and the .45, which one do you want? (９ミリと４５口径と、どちらが欲しい？)”

Metaphor: It’s the “tale of the tape,” like before a boxing match. In this corner, Noun 1. In that corner, Noun 2. Which one (dochira ga) is better/stronger/gonna win?

Read the table below then use it to conjugate some words you know.

This is just a pattern.

Type	Formula	Example	Translation
Noun	Noun1 + と + Noun2 + と、どちらが	金と力と、どちらが (kane to chikara to, dochira ga)	Between money and power, which one…

It’s just [Noun 1] と [Noun 2] と, どちらが [Question]? You gotta have both と (to) particles.
