when there is some uncertainty of the exact number of people or things, we use koi and kuch
kuch = something / few
table pe kuch kitabe hai = there are a few books on the table
kuch nahi = not something = nothing
table pe kuch nahi hai = there is nothing on the table
there is something on the chair =
there is nothing on the chair =
koi = someone
daftar me, koi hai = in the office, there is someone
koi nahi = no one
daftar me, koi nahi hai = in the office, there is noone
also used as some:
koi ladki bol rahi hai = some girl is talking
there’s no one in the office =
That’s someone else (else = aur) =
As usual, we will oblique these words in front of prepositions:
replace us with kisi:
us ko -> kisi ko = to someone
us ki ma -> kisi ki ma = someone’s mother
us ghar me -> kisi ghar me = in some house
she wants =
someone wants =
she saw =
someone saw =
some city =
near some city =
