==========================================================

There are cases in which we cannot answer in either way, and for this, the form of …かどうか… is used.

かどうか functions in a very similar way to the English phrase 'whether or not', with the key difference that in English, clause A / B would be reversed.

Clause A is usually a description of a situation - 'rain tomorrow', or 'the bathroom is in use'. Clause B can be a statement of knowledge or intent ('I don't know' or 'I would like') etc.


Verb-plain+ かどうか

Noun + かどうか

いadj + かどうか

行（い）くかどうかあとで電話（でんわ）で知（し）らせます。
