### Alternative forms

### Etymology

Reduplication of ubī̆.

### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /ˈu.bu.bi/, [ˈʊbʊbɪ]
* (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /ˈu.bu.bi/, [ˈuːbubi]
* (Poetic) IPA: /ˈu.bi̯u.biː/, [ˈʊbi̯ʊbiː]
* (Poetic) IPA: /ˈu.bju.bi/, [ˈuːbjubi]
* Note: Always trisyllabic, exact realisation of the vowel junction unknown. Length of final vowel impossible to establish, in all likelihood parallel to simplex ubī̆. Invariably stressed on first syllable in iambic verse unless forming a word-group with erit.

### Adverb

ubi ubī̆ (not comparable)
* (colloquial, rare) wherever, wheresoever
    Ubi ubi est, fac quamprīmum haec audiat.Wherever he is, make sure he hears this first thing.

#### Usage notes

* The adverbs ubī̆ (“where”), ubī̆nam (“where in the world?”), ubī̆cumque (“wherever”) and ubi ubī̆ are sometimes used with the genitive of terra (“land”) (plural: terrārum), locus (“place”) (singular: locī, plural: locōrum), gens (“nation”) (singular: gentium), to detonate the same meaning as "where on earth". "in what country" or "where in the world":
    Ubi ubi est gentium.
       Wherever in the world is he?

#### Synonyms

* ubī̆cumque
