    so from the explanation when you make a statement where "or" is used, you use huo4zhe3. Example: I want an orange or an apple = "Wo yao yige chengzi huozhe yige pingguo". Example 2. Do you want orange or apple?, "Ni yao chengzi haishi pingguo?" . I hope this helps you understand how "huozhe" is used

    There are several factors in how to speak Chinese easily . One place I found that succeeds in merging these is the Magic Mandarin Blueprint (look for it on google) definately the no.1 resource that I've found. Check out the extraordinary information .

    我还没想好穿红色的裤子 还是 咖啡色的裤子。Here 还是 is used for choosing between alternatives with a negative sentence.

    Perhaps another way is to think of this as an embedded question (requiring 还是). For example: 我还没想好: 穿红色的裤子还是咖啡色的裤子? But what I really find unusual is that 想好 (and 想到 and 决定) are negated with 没, although we are taught that verbs of thought or feeling should be negated with 不. For example: "I didn't(!) know that you didn't(!) decide." 我不(!)知道你没(!)决定. I wonder if there are any other verbs of thought or feeling that are negated with 没. And if there is any explanation for not negating with 不.
