Russian indefinite pronouns

Russian builds its indefinite series on the interrogative pronouns kto 'who' and čto 'what' of Russian.Pronouns: a marker maps each interrogative to an indefinite, and a series collects the indefinites one marker builds. A series marks the interrogative with a prefix, koe- or ni-, with a suffix, -to, -nibud' or -libo, or with a following phrase, by to ni bylo or ugodno. The free-choice determiner ljuboj 'any' forms a series of its own. The members are those of Haspelmath's table, which omits the by to ni bylo and ugodno series; these are entered with their person and thing members.

The markers

def Russian.Indefinites.koe : InterrogativePronoun → IndefinitePronoun

The koe- marker attaches the prefix koe- to the interrogative.

Equations

• Russian.Indefinites.koe = IndefinitePronoun.ofInterrogative fun (x : String) => "koe-" ++ x

def Russian.Indefinites.to_ : InterrogativePronoun → IndefinitePronoun

The -to marker attaches the suffix -to to the interrogative.

Equations

• Russian.Indefinites.to_ = IndefinitePronoun.ofInterrogative fun (x : String) => x ++ "-to"

def Russian.Indefinites.nibud : InterrogativePronoun → IndefinitePronoun

The -nibud' marker attaches the suffix -nibud' to the interrogative.

Equations

• Russian.Indefinites.nibud = IndefinitePronoun.ofInterrogative fun (x : String) => x ++ "-nibud'"

def Russian.Indefinites.libo : InterrogativePronoun → IndefinitePronoun

The -libo marker attaches the suffix -libo to the interrogative.

Equations

• Russian.Indefinites.libo = IndefinitePronoun.ofInterrogative fun (x : String) => x ++ "-libo"

def Russian.Indefinites.byToNiBylo : InterrogativePronoun → IndefinitePronoun

The by to ni bylo marker follows the interrogative with by to ni bylo.

Equations

• Russian.Indefinites.byToNiBylo = IndefinitePronoun.ofInterrogative fun (x : String) => x ++ " by to ni bylo"

def Russian.Indefinites.ni : InterrogativePronoun → IndefinitePronoun

The negative marker attaches the prefix ni- to the interrogative.

Equations

• Russian.Indefinites.ni = IndefinitePronoun.ofInterrogative fun (x : String) => "ni" ++ x

def Russian.Indefinites.ugodno : InterrogativePronoun → IndefinitePronoun

The ugodno marker follows the interrogative with ugodno 'pleasing'.

Equations

• Russian.Indefinites.ugodno = IndefinitePronoun.ofInterrogative fun (x : String) => x ++ " ugodno"
