This is "who are you, where am I" as filtered through a certain online translation website. The result is poor Latin, though better than most of that site's translations: the main problems are

  • es "are" is singular while vos "you" is plural (vos could just be omitted; Latin es doesn't require an explicit subject)
  • qua is not interrogative; the proper way to ask "where?" is ubi

"What is?" or "Who is?" is an English equivalent of the Latin phrase Quis est?

Specifically, the relative pronoun quis means "what, who". The verb est translates as "is". The pronunciation will be "kwees ehst" in classical Latin and "kwee-sehst" in liturgical Latin.

What is the Latin word for 'indescribable'?

The Latin equivalent of the English word 'indescribable' is inenarrabilis. The Latin form of the adjective has only one ending regardless of the feminine, masculine or neuter gender of the noun that it modifies. As an adverb, the Latin equivalent of 'indescribably' is 'inenarrabiliter'. The word 'indescribable' also may be translated by a special phrase. That phase is 'nescio quis'. For example, the English phrase 'that wonderful and indescribable thing' may be translated as illud nescio quid praeclarum. In the word-by-word translation, the demonstrative pronoun 'illud' means 'that'. The phrase 'nescio quid' means 'indescribable'. The adjective 'praeclarum' means 'wonderful'.
