Latin Grammar: aliquis v. quilibet/quivis

Quarto dico quod solus habitus voluntatis est intrinsece et necessario virtuosus, quia quilibet alius habitus inclinat indifferenter ad actus laudabiles et vituperabiles. Ad argumentum principale, nego assumptum, quia aliquis actus voluntatis nullo modo potest elici cum intentione mala, sicut patet ex praedictis.

There is an important distinction between the Latin words aliquis and quilibet/quivis. The former is a particular indefinite, meaning that it refers to someone or anyone and is used in a circumstance that refers to a particular rather than a general. The latter, however, is a general indefinite and is used in general clauses. As the subfixes libet and vis imply, both of these mean "anyone you will," reinforcing the generalized quality of the words. Practice recognizing and translating these words by translating the following Latin sentences into English.

1. Non aliquid timetis. .

2. Aliquis debet hoc facere. .

3. Quilibet debet hoc facere. .

4. Quemvis mihi mitte. .

5. Scientia non nocet alicui. .

6. Non cuivis homini contingit hoc audire. .

7. Non cuiquam homini continguit hoc audire. .
