Why all the review? quidam is an indefinite pronoun you already know. We will learn 3(ish) new indefinites this chapter. Aliquis, aliquid (someone, something, anyone, anything) declines like quis, quid. The indefinite adjective corresponding to this word is “aliquī, aliqua, aliquod”, which declines like quī, quae, quod, except in f & n s.
Quis, quid Indefinite pronoun quis, quid, with adjectival forms quī, qua, quod, declines just like the aliquis, except without the ali. It means the same thing The ali can go missing anytime, but will drop out 99% after si, nisi, num and ne. “After sī, nisī, num, or nē, ali takes a holiday!”
Quisquam, quidquam Note: quidquam can ellide to quicquam. Declines like quis, quid + quam at the end. Means someone/something, anyone/anything. Use ūllus (an UNUS NAUTA/-ius genitive adjective) for adjective.
Quisque, Quidque Quidque sometimes = quicque. Quis, quid, + que. Adjectival form: quī, quae, quod, +que. Meaning: Each, each one, every, everyone.
Now for something marginally less boring Intransitive verbs plus datives: Think “transitive verbs which take the dative” Credo nautīs. I am trusting to the sailors. Or I trust the sailors.
More Examples StudeāsLatinae. You are zealous for Latin. You study Latin. Pāruitduci. He is obedient to the leader. He obeys the leader.
Impersonal Passives • Intransitive verbs cannot take a normal passive construction. • Passive found only in the 3rd person (singular) without an expressed nominative. • Called impersonal construction. • In paraphrastic constructions, the participle is in the neuter.
Examples Regi ā mēpersuāsum est. There is a persuading for the king by me. I persuaded the king. Mēabincolīscreditur. I believe the inhabitants. Latinae a vobīsstudendum est. There must be a studying of Latin by you. You need to study Latin.
Side Note Other verbs can take the impersonal passive, generally calling attention to the verb. In insulā scribitur.
Compound verbs w/ dative • Vobīs praesum. • Dr. Harvey vobīs mē praeficit.
Fiō, fierī, factus sum Used as the passive for facio, facere, fēcī, factus. Conjugated in present as if active verb in i-stem, although with passive meaning. Present subjunctive uses nonexistent present active from fiere-.
