What does 就是 (jiùshì) mean in sentences like:

不是電影就是電腦遊戲 [MSC, trad.]
不是电影就是电脑游戏 [MSC, simp.]
Wǒ bùshì kàn diànyǐng, jiùshì wán diànnǎoyóuxì. [Pinyin]
If I don't watch the movie, I'll play computer games.

@AryamanA It's part of the construction 不是……就是…… (bùshì...jiùshì...): 不是 + A,就是 + B = if not A, then B. (P.S. Please ping me next time.) Wyang (talk) 07:16, 17 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
