6.  The Relative is used freely in Latin, particularly at the beginning of a sentence, where in English we employ a demonstrative; as,—­

    quo factum est, by this it happened;

    quae cum ita sint, since this is so;

    quibus rebus cognitis, when these things became known.

7.  The Relative introducing a subordinate clause may belong grammatically to a clause which is subordinate to the one it introduces; as,—­

numquam digne satis laudari philosophia poterit, cui qui pareat, omne tempus aetatis sine molestia possit degere, philosophy can never be praised enough, since he who obeys her can pass every period of life without annoyance (lit. he who obeys which, etc.).

Here cui introduces the subordinate clause possit and connects it with philosophia; but cui is governed by pareat, which is subordinate to possit.

INDEFINITE PRONOUNS.

252. 1.  Quis, any one, is the weakest of the Indefinites, and stands usually in combination with si, nisi, ne, num; as,—­

    si quis putat, if any one thinks.

2.  Aliquis (adj. aliqui) is more definite than quis, and corresponds usually to the English some one, somebody, some; as,—­

    nunc aliquis dicat mihi, now let somebody tell me;

    utinam modo agatur aliquid, oh that something may be done.

3.  Quidam, a certain one, is still more definite than aliquis; as,—­

    homo quidam, a certain man (i.e., one whom I have in mind).

  a.  Quidam (with or without quasi, as if) is sometimes used in the
  sense:  a sort of, kind of; as,—­

    cognatio quaedam, a sort of relationship;

    mors est quasi quaedam migratio, death is a kind of transfer as it
    were.

4.  Quisquam, any one, any one whoever (more general than quis), and its corresponding adjective ullus, any, occur mostly in negative and conditional sentences, in interrogative sentences implying a negative, and in clauses of comparison; as,—­

    justitia numquam nocet cuiquam, justice never harms anybody;

    si quisquam, Cato sapiens fuit, if anybody was ever wise, Cato was;

    potestne quisquam sine perturbatione animi irasci, can anybody be
    angry without excitement?

    si ullo modo poterit, if it can be done in any way;

    taetrior hic tyrannus fuit quam quisquam superiorum, he was a viler
    tyrant than any of his predecessors.

5.  Quisque, each one, is used especially under the following circumstances:—­

  a) In connection with suus.  See Sec. 244, 4, a.

  b) In connection with a Relative or Interrogative Pronoun; as,—­
