Turkish indefinite pronouns #
This file defines the Turkish indefinite series as Haspelmath tabulates them. All three are
built on generic nouns and the numeral bir 'one': the non-emphatic bir-series, biri(si)
'someone', bir şey 'something', bir yerde 'somewhere', bir zaman 'sometime', bir şekilde
'somehow' and the determiner bir; the negative hiç-series, which prefixes the Persian loan
hiç to a bir-member and has hiçbiri and hiç kimse for a person; and the free-choice
herhangi-series, which prefixes herhangi, from her 'every' and hangi 'which', to a
bir-member. The isolated kimse 'someone, anyone', from kim 'who' and the conditional
suffix, is used only non-specifically. The functions each series covers are the regions of
