How to Say ‘Is it not coming out in the shower or the kitchen?’ in Japanese
シャワーも台所も出ませんか。
shawaa mo daidokoro mo de mase n ka
[SHAH-wah moh dye-DOH-koh-roh moh deh mah-seh n kah]
💬 Usage Tip: Putting も after each item means "both A and B". Here, with a "not" verb, it becomes "neither A nor B". For example, 水もお湯も "both cold and hot water".
