使用する際の注意点

• When used as a question word, quis usually occupies the first position in a clause, regardless of its syntactic function (although it may be preceded by a connector or a pragmatically fronted constituent).
• In a question that does not contain a copular verb, the interrogative pronoun is masculine singular (quis) when asking for the identity of some unknown person(s) and neuter singular (quid) when asking for the identity of some unknown thing. In all periods of Latin, the masculine forms of quis can be used as a generic, epicene interrogative pronoun with a scope that includes both male and female persons despite its masculine grammatical gender. Compare the generic sense of the grammatically masculine noun homo (“man, human being”).
  • The nominative singular form quis is sometimes used as a feminine interrogative pronoun or adjective in the early Latin of Ennius, Pacuvius, and Plautus (see Citations:quis). This use of quis as a feminine (as opposed to epicene) nominative singular form is scarcely attested in authors of later time periods. The feminine nominative singular form quae is also attested in reference to a woman or in agreement with a feminine noun (see Citations:quae), although it can be difficult to determine whether feminine interrogative quae is a form of the pronoun quis (“who”), or a form of the interrogative adjective quī (“which”) (which can be used substantivally).
• In questions that contain a form of esse and a nominative noun in addition to a nominative form of quis, the form of quis may match the gender and number of the noun by attraction. Therefore, in this context, quis (with a masculine noun) or quae (with a feminine noun) can mean "what", rather than "who". However, it is also possible alternatively for neuter singular quid to be used as a predicative pronoun with the sense "what" in a question with a masculine, feminine or plural subject, with no agreement in gender or number between the subject and the predicate. According to Lebreton, agreement is rarer than the use of the non-agreeing neuter interrogative pronoun, but neither is exceptional. In questions with esse, it is not always simple to determine whether a form of quis is acting as an interrogative pronominal subject, an interrogative pronominal predicate, or an interrogative adjective (see also quī), since the same grammatical case is used for all of these functions, and Latin regularly places an interrogative word first regardless of its syntactic function in a clause.
• The indefinite pronoun is frequent in certain constructions, rare in others. It is common immediately after sī or nē and is also used regularly after the less frequent particles num and nisi (the combinations sīquis, nēquis, numquis are sometimes written without spacing). Quis is sometimes separated from these particles by one or more words, and is occasionally found after other words (e.g. cum, mainly in postclassical and Late Latin, sometimes other relative words). In sense, quis/quid has the weakest emphatic force of the various Latin indefinite pronouns, and can refer to a person/thing whose existence is completely hypothetical: in contrast, aliquis (“someone”) has a greater tendency to imply existence, quīdam (“a certain”) refers to someone/something specific known to the speaker, and quisquam (“anyone (at all)”) is used in negative polarity contexts and can optionally be used instead of quis in conditional or prohibitive clauses to emphasize the universality of a condition or prohibition.

語形変化

Interrogative and indefinite pronoun.

In Republican Latin or earlier, alternative spellings could be found for the following forms of quī/quis and its compounds: the masculine nominative singular or plural quī (old spelling quei), the genitive singular cuius (old spelling quoius), the dative singular cui (old spelling quoi or quoiei), the dative/ablative plural quīs (old spelling queis).
Qua (with short ă) occurs only as an indefinite pronoun or determiner placed immediately after sī, nē, or num. The combinations sīqua, nēqua, and numqua are sometimes written without spacing (as also are the masculines sīquis, nēquis and numquis). Compare aliquis, aliqua, aliquid. Quae can also be used instead of quă. Quă is never used as an interrogative pronoun/determiner, relative pronoun/determiner, or feminine nominative plural.
Feminine quis and quem are attested mainly in early Latin authors (Ennius, Pacuvius, and Plautus).

• An archaic form of the nominative plural is quēs (found on the Senatus consultum de Bacchanalibus).
