Aliquid

I’ve read that aliquid means something.

I also read the plural is aliqui.

However, I can’t make the connection to the plural of something.
How can something have a plural.

How would aliqui be translated?

Thanks,

David

Aliquid is neuter; its plural is aliquae. Aliqui can be both masculine singular or plural (it’s a long i in both).

However, I can’t make the connection to the plural of > something> .
How can > something > have a plural.

“Some things”.

How would > aliqui > be translated?

Either “some man” or “some men”.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you then use aliqui as an adjective, in the sense aliqui liberi, aliquae feminae (some children, some women) ?
