cuias
Latin
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /kui̯ˈi̯aːs/, [kʊi̯ˈi̯äːs̠]
The stress fell on the final syllable—an exception to the usual Latin stress rule—as a result of the contraction from -ātis.
Adjective
cuiās (genitive cuiātis); third-declension one-termination adjective
- whence?, of what country?, from what place?, of what people?, of which kin?
- c. 45 BCE, Cicero, Tusculan Disputations 5.108:
- Socrates quidem cum rogaretur, cuiatem se esse diceret, 'mundanum' inquit; totius enim mundi se incolam et civem arbitrabatur.
- Socrates, when asked where he would say he was from; said "from the world"; for he judged himself an inhabitant and citizen of the whole world.
- Socrates quidem cum rogaretur, cuiatem se esse diceret, 'mundanum' inquit; totius enim mundi se incolam et civem arbitrabatur.
