_any one_ (_anything_) _any you wish_
_you wish_ quÄ«dam, quaedam, quiddam, quÄ«dam, quaedam, quoddam, _a certain person_, or _a certain_ _thing_. 1. In the Indefinite Pronouns, only the pronominal part is declined. Thus: Genitive Singular alicÅ«jus, cÅ«juslibet, etc. 2. Note that aliquÄ« has aliqua in the Nominative Singular Feminine, also in the Nominative and Accusative Plural Neuter. QuÄ« has both qua and quae in these same cases. 3. QuÄ«dam forms Accusative Singular quendam, quandam; Genitive Plural quÅrundam, quÄrundam; the m being assimilated to n before d. 4. Aliquis may be used adjectively, and (occasionally) aliquÄ« substantively. 5. In combination with nÄ, sÄ«, nisi, num, either quis or quÄ« may stand as a Substantive. Thus: sÄ« quis or sÄ« quÄ«. 6. Ecquis, _any one_, though strictly an Indefinite, generally has interrogative force. It has both substantive and adjective forms,--substantive, ecquis, ecquid; adjective, ecquÄ«, ecquae and ecqua, ecquod. 7. Quisquam is not used in the Plural. 8. There are two Indefinite Relatives,--quÄ«cumque and quisquis, _whoever_. |
