Touchent-ils celui de quelqu'un ? Votre cousin n'aime-t-il personne? Do they touch that of somebody? Does your cousin love nobody? INDEFINITE PRONOUNS, CONTINUED. CHAQUE, EACH, EVERY. This pronoun is of both genders, and has no plural; as, Chaque homme s'amuse comme il veut, each man amuses himself as he likes; Chaque homme a son goût, every man has his taste. QUELQUE, SOME. This pronoun is of both genders, and takes the number of the substantive. It signifies un, une entre plusieurs, one out of several; cherchez quelque autre personne, seek somebody else. CERTAIN, Signifies quelque, certain, some. It is always placed before the substantive, and used for persons and things; as, un certain auteur, a certain author. NUL, and pas un, not any, not one, are employed either alone, or in conjunction with a substantive. They are accompanied by a negation, take the feminine, but have no plural, and may be followed by the preposition'de ;-Nulle expression, nulle vérité de dessein dans cet ouvrage, no expression, no truth of design in that work. AUCUN, Signifies nul, no, not any; when accompanied by a negation it may be followed by the preposition de; it is seldom employed in the plural, except before a substantive, which in some particular sense, is better employed in the plural; as, Il n'a fait aucunes dispositions, he has made no dispositions; and when employed in the singular - Vous n'avez aucun moyen de réussir, you have no means of succeeding. AUTRE, OTHER, Is sometimes used to express a person, but indeterminate ; as, J'aime mieux que vous l'appreniez de tout autre que de moi, I had rather you learn it of any other person than of me. It also expresses a difference between two objects, or between one and several ; as, quelle autre chose souhaitez-vous de moi? What else do you wish of me? L'UN L'AUTRE ; Each other, one another, applies both to persons and things; it takes both genders and numbers; and if there be any preposition, it must be placed before the last. When these two words are used in conjunction, they express a reciprocal relation between several persons or things; but, when used separately, they denote a difference. When used in conjunction ; -Il faut se secourir l'un et l'autre, we ought to assist each other. When used separately;-Les passions s'entendent les unes avec les autres; si l'on se laisse aller aux unes, il est bien à craindre qu'on se livre bientôt aux autres, our passions have a relation with each other; if we indulge some, it is much to be feared that we shall soon abandon ourselves to the others. This pronoun varies in the following manner, to form its gender and number-l'un l'autre, l'une l'autre, les uns les autres, les unes les autres; and when negative, ni l'un ni l'autre; as, Ni l'un ni l'autre n'ont fait leur devoir, neither has done his duty. MÊME, SAME, Signifies qui n'est pas autre, which is not different. It is of both genders, and takes the plural; as, Ce sont les mêmes personnes, they are the same persons. TEL, TELLE, Tels, telles, means pareil, semblable, de même, such, like, similar. Il takes both genders and numbers ;-De tels hommes méritent de l'estime, such men merit esteem; n'avez vous jamais vu de telles femmes ? have you never seen such women? PLUSIEURS, SEVERAL. This pronoun is of both genders, and used alike of persons and of things. When united to a substantive, or relating to it, it signifies an indeterminate number, without relation to another; as, Plusieurs motifs l'ont déterminé, several reasons determined him. But it is likewise used of a greater or less number, forming part of a number still greater; as, Parmi un si grand nombre de gens, il y en a plusieurs qui s'y opposent, out of so great a number of persons, several object to it. TOUT, When employed alone, signifies toutes choses, all things; toute sorte de choses, every kind of things; as, Tout nous abandonne au moment de la mort, il ne reste que nos bonnes œuvres, every thing forsakes us at the moment of death, we retain nothing but our good works. Tout, considered collectively, signifies the totality of a thing, and is then followed by the article; Tout l'univers, the whole universe; but considered distributively, it signifies chaque, each; and it is not in this case accompanied by the article-Tout bien est désirable, every good is desirable.
