to whom?
| Morphological Notes | Interrogative pronoun, dative singular (form may be masculine, feminine, or neuter depending on referent). |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular form τίνι expresses the indirect object of inquiry, naturally rendered in English with the preposition "to." As an interrogative pronoun, it asks about the identity or nature of a person (and by extension a thing) in the dative relation. |
