algien

Alguien is a Spanish word meaning "someone" or "somebody." It is an indefinite pronoun used to refer to an unspecified person. In English, it functions similarly to "someone," "somebody," or "anyone" in certain contexts, though its usage is distinct within the Spanish language. For example, "Alguien llamó a la puerta" translates to "Someone called the door," meaning someone knocked on the door. The pronoun is invariable, meaning it does not change its form based on gender or number. When used in questions, it can sometimes carry the meaning of "anyone." The pronunciation is roughly "al-GYEN." Understanding "alguien" is fundamental to comprehending basic sentence structures and conversational exchanges in Spanish.
