Neither nor translation

jennybbbbbjennybbbbb Alum Member
in General 630 karma

I don't know why but I have been having trouble translating any statement that has 'neither nor' in it.

For example, how would I translate this statement into formal logic/shorthand.

Neither Garrett nor Genrietta finishes earlier than Luisa.

Thank you in advance!

    Garrett does not finish earlier than Luisa. Genrietta does not finish earlier than Luisa.

    Garrett ---> not finish earlier than Luisa.
    Genrietta ---> not finish earlier than Luisa.

    I think you are forgetting the possibility that Luisa finishes at the same time as Garrett or/and Genrietta (The game may not be a one-to-one mapping).

    Garrett does not finish earlier than Luisa. Genrietta does not finish earlier than Luisa.

    Garrett ---> not finish earlier than Luisa.
    Genrietta ---> not finish earlier than Luisa.

    Yeah, I made the assumption that it was one-to-one.
