Phrases with the structure 非A非B
"Neither... nor..."
Phrases with the structure are set expressions that need to be memorized. In the structure, we replace "A" and "B" with words that have similar meanings. Here are some examples of these set expressions: (neither ass nor horse) (neither a relative nor a friend)

In the above structure, "A" and "B" can be replaced with nouns, adjectives or pronouns.
