Concise Oxford Paravia Italian Dictionary © 2009 Pearson Paravia Bruno Mondadori spa e Oxford University Press:
whether / ˈweðə(r), AE ˈhweðər/ When whether is used to mean if, it is translated by se: I wonder whether she got my letter = mi chiedo se ha (or: abbia) ricevuto la mia lettera. See 1 in the entry below. - Although if can also be used, whether often occurs after verbs such as doubt, know, see and wonder, with adjectives such as doubtful and sure, and with nouns like doubt and question. You can find further examples at these entries. - In whether...or not sentences, whether is translated by che and the verb that follows is in the subjunctive: whether you agree or not = che tu sia d’accordo o no, whether you like it or not = che ti piaccia o no;
note, however, that
whether + infinitive is translated by se + infinitive in Italian: I have to decide whether or not to accept his proposal = devo decidere se accettare la sua proposta o no. See 2 in the entry below.
