usted podrá seguir su programa

Question

the full sentence is: Usted podrá seguir su programa en el ordenador sin peder calidad de imagen ni sonido

Can I translate it into You will follow your program in the computer without losing image and sound quality.

why do we need ´ni´ here, can we say ímage y sonido´ means ímage and sound´

Answer 1

• Your sentence should read....... Usted se podrá mantener al día su programa en el ordenador sin perder ni calidad de imagen ni de sonido.

• ni....... ni means neither/nor in this context. "Ni" is a negation in this sentence so in order for the sentence to make sense it must be used with both "calidad de imagen" & "de sonido." Also know that the noun being described only needs to be stated once then you can use the descriptors(or adjectives)to differentiate both nouns.

• o.......o is used in the same manner except it means either/or

Answer 2

You will be able to continue your program on the computer without losing image cuality nor sound
