ό,τι

Whatever or What as a Relative

Level 4Sounds Like ó,ti

Ό,τι introduces an invariable free relative referring to a thing or action.

How It Works

Ό,τι introduces an invariable free relative referring to a thing or action.

Its comma distinguishes it from ότι, the content-clause conjunction meaning that. The form itself does not change for case; the whole clause fills a role in the larger sentence.
