quisquamne

== Latin == === Etymology === From quis + -quamne. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [kʷɪsˈkʷam.nɛ] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [kʷisˈkʷam.ne] === Pronoun === quisquamne or quīquamne or queiquamne (feminine quaequamne or quisquamne or quaquamne, neuter quidquamne); interrogative/indefinite pronoun with an indeclinable portion (masculine, feminine, interrogative) anyone? anybody? (neuter, interrogative) anything? ==== Usage notes ==== Unlike quisquam, quisquamne and its derivatives can be used freely as interrogatives, with or without the subjunctive verb. ==== Declension ==== Interrogative/indefinite pronoun with an indeclinable portion. 1Republican Latin.2Qua (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, and quă is never used as an interrogative pronoun/determiner, relative pronoun/determiner, or feminine nominative plural.3Quī is occasionally used as an ablative singular, whence quīcum (“with whom”); it was originally preferred in instrumental meanings. === Adjective === quisquamne or quīquamne or queiquamne (feminine quaequamne or quisquamne or quaquamne, neuter quidquamne); interrogative/indefinite pronoun with an indeclinable portion (interrogative) any? ==== Declension ==== Irregular adjective with an indeclinable portion. === See also === quisquam
