Definition

谁 is a Pronoun, which means “who; anyone”.

 

1. 谁 is used in rhetorical questions; 谁 can either be singular (one person) or plural (several persons).

1) 你是谁? (Who are you?)

2) 您是——? (You are ……)

Notes:  你是谁? this kind of asking style is not very polite, so people do not ask 你是谁? instead of asking with 您是——?

3) 你家有谁? (Who's in your family?)

The above sentence has the same meaning as 你家有什么人?

 

2. Sometimes 谁 does not anticipate questions.

1) It can refer to anything, used before 都 or 也 to indicate “everyone; anyone”.

You can replace anyone or anything with an Interrogative pronoun to emphasize “all” without exception, often accompanied by adverbial 都 or 也. 也 is often used in negative sentences. For example:

a) 谁也没去。(None of us has ever been to XXX.)

b) 谁都喜欢他。(Everyone likes him.)

2) It can refer to something or someone in general, things or persons you are not so sure of. For example:

a) 你随便找谁一起去吧。(You can go with whomever you like.)

b) 这件事我好像听谁说过。(I seem to have heard of it by someone.)
