όποιος όποια όποιο
Whoever or Whichever
Όποιος and its inflected forms introduce a free relative referring to a person or thing.
How It Works
Όποιος and its inflected forms introduce a free relative referring to a person or thing.
Gender and number follow the referent; case depends on the role in the construction. Do not mechanically use nominative when the relative is governed by a preposition.
