AI Summary
τίς is the ordinary question-word of Greek, used as a pronoun or adjective to ask who, which, or what 1234. It stands for a person or thing not yet identified, and is used both in direct questions ("Who is this?") and in questions reported indirectly within a sentence 13. As an adjective it can also ask "which" or "what" of a noun already in view 1.
The neuter form τί is also used adverbially to mean why 13. In this use it often appears in questions that are really a strong way of saying "no" or "not at all," since the question expects a negative answer 13. The same neuter form is also used in exclamations, where it means how ("how I wish," "how beautiful") rather than asking a genuine question 13.
