Scene

When to use it

Saying that either option works for food, time, place, or a small decision.

Risk

can sound cold

When someone needs a clear decision, choose one option instead of saying 都可以.

Literal

All can.

都可以 is extremely useful, but it can sound passive if someone really needs your preference. Learners need both the phrase and the social caution.

Examples

Say it inside real sentences.

Run the 4-step recall
01 Saturday or Sunday are both fine.
02 Anything to eat is fine.

Mini dialogue

Hear the social move.

Play both lines, then say the second line without looking.

A Coffee or tea?
B Either is fine.

Contrast

Do not blur these together.

01 Anything is fine.
02 I want coffee.
