Weder
Weder noch is the German equivalent of neither nor and joins two negated items. The verb stays positive because weder noch already carries the negation. It is a fixed pair, so weder without noch sounds unfinished.
Examples in context
Ich trinke weder Kaffee noch Tee.
I drink neither coffee nor tea.
Weder er noch sie kommt heute.
Neither he nor she is coming today.
