“somebody” in Latin

aliquis: quispiam: aliquispiam: quisquam: ullus: (1) aliquis, aliqua, aliquid, substantive; aliquis or aliqui, aliqua, aliquod, adjective: (2) aliquispiam, quispiam ([substantive and adjective; but usually quispiam is found as a substantive, and aliquispiam as an adjective; Zumpt, § 129][substantive and adjective; but usually quispiam is found as a substantive, and aliquispiam as an adjective; Zumpt, § 129], relate to a multitude, intimating that it is immaterial which individual of that number is thought of. Quispiam often in objections; e.g., somebody will say, dixerit quispiam): quidam (a certain one, whom it is not necessary to specify). ☞ Aliquis, indefinite and affirmative; also, like our “somebody,” used for “a person of consequence”: si vis esse aliquis: ego quoque sum aliquid (Cic.): quispiam (substantive) and ullus (adjective) are indefinite and negative; therefore also in interrogative clauses, where a negative is implied.
