〜といい〜といい (~to ii ~to ii) — both ~ and ~ (in every respect)

Judge one thing from two angles: 'whichever way you look, it's like this.'

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

N + といい + N + といい、…

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

When to use it

You go to see a new apartment. Two minutes from the station, cheap rent too.
Back home you tell a friend: 「駅からの近さといい家賃といい、この部屋は文句なしだ。」— the closeness, the rent; whichever way you look, this room is perfect.

Meaning

「〜といい〜といい」= look at one thing or person from two angles and reach one judgement.
The speaker's feeling — admiration or annoyance — is strong, and it implies 'these two are just examples; everything else is the same.'
What follows is a judgement or state: 最高だ・文句なしだ・そっくりだ・ひどい.

How to attach

After nouns only: 色といい形といい
Turn an adjective into a noun first: 近さ・安さ

Versus what you know

N5It overlaps with 「〜も〜も」(デザインも色も), but the feeling here is much stronger.
「であれ〜であれ」says 'whichever, the rule is the same'; this one says 'look at its qualities — how good (or bad) it is.'

Watch out

A request or wish (〜てください・〜たい) cannot follow — this form only says 'in my eyes, it is like this.'

Examples (उदाहरणहरू)

駅からの近さといい家賃といい、この部屋は文句なしだ。

えきからのちかさといいやちんといい、このへやはもんくなしだ。

The closeness to the station, the rent — this room is perfect.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 近い → 近さ = closeness (made into a noun), 家賃 = rent → 「といい」 after both → then the verdict: 文句なしだ = nothing to complain about.

味といい値段といい、この店の定食は学生にぴったりだ。

あじといいねだんといい、このみせのていしょくはがくせいにぴったりだ。

Taste and price alike — this shop's set meal is perfect for students.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 味 = taste, 値段 = price (two sides of the same meal) → 「といい」 twice → then the verdict: ぴったりだ.

言葉遣いといい態度といい、あの客には本当に腹が立った。

ことばづかいといいたいどといい、あのきゃくにはほんとうにはらがたった。

Their language, their attitude — that customer really made me angry.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 言葉遣い = way of speaking, 態度 = attitude (two sides of the same person) → 「といい」 → then a bad verdict: 腹が立った = got angry.

💡 Hint: The same form after both nouns.
