### Someone and something

**{{item:1172226}}** is a person: *someone*, or *anyone* in a question. **{{item:1172231}}** is a thing: *something*, *anything*.

{{item:1172227}}

{{item:1172232}}

### Nogle — some, a few

**{{item:1172234}}** goes with plural nouns. It sounds almost like *nogen* when Danes speak, so keep the spelling apart: **nogen** = someone/any, **nogle** = some (several).

### No one, nothing

### Man — people in general
