What's the difference between noch, weder, auch nicht, sondern, noch dazu, oder, and vielmehr
Used in the correlative pattern "weder ... noch" to mean "neither ... nor." By itself, it marks exclusion of two alternatives.
A direct negative meaning "not either" or "not ... either." It often replaces "nor" in simple sentences after a negative statement.
Used after a negation to contrast and correct: "not ... but ..." It does not mean "nor" itself, but introduces the alternative.
Advanced: broader words
Means "what is more" or "besides," adding an extra point, often with emphasis. It is not a negative equivalent of "nor."
The basic conjunction "or". In negative contexts it can overlap slightly with "nor," but it does not itself express negation.
Means "rather," "more exactly," or "to be precise." It is used to correct or refine a previous statement, not simply to negate it.
