| about aliquis |
Junya |
08/25/07 |
Hi. I am Japanese. I studied Latin last year and am now trying to read Thomas Aquinas writings (because there is opera omnia of his on the internet).
There are places where aliquis(pronoun) is used like aliqui(adjective). Aliquis can be used that way? Or am I misreading?
example:
quia posset aliquis dicere, quod est aliquis alius sensus cognoscitivus sensibilium communium:
Here, I suppose it doesn't matter in the meaning if it is aliquis or aliqui. "because someone might say that there is another sense that can recognize common sensibles". |

Thank you. your answe was interesting, because I don't know anything about Latin language history. I just started last year.
Where is unclear? Where I'm concerned is,
quod est aliquis alius sensus cognoscitivus sensibilium communium
This aliquis is, I think, used as aliqui put to "sense", so it means "a" sense.
"there is a(aliqui, not aliquis) sense, another sense, which recognize the common sensibles."
But it would be ok if it is aliquis.
"something is that another sense you are speaking that can recognize common sensibles."
