Something, Anything, Nothing, etc. koristimo

Something, anything, nothing, itd. su neodređene zamjenice. Pomažu nam govoriti o ljudima, stvarima ili mjestima kada ne navedemo točnu osobu, predmet ili mjesto.

Na TV-u nema ništa zanimljivo, pa ću nešto pročitati.

Something, Anything, Nothing, etc. Oblik

Ove riječi slijede jednostavan obrazac: some / any / no / every + nastavak za osobu, stvar ili mjesto.

Značenje some- any- no- every-
ljudi someone
somebody		 anyone
anybody		 no one

Something, Anything, Nothing, etc. Nijekanje

U engleskom jeziku obično ne koristimo dvije negacije u jednoj jednostavnoj rečenici. Zato biramo jedan obrazac: ili negativni glagol + any- ili pozitivni glagol + no-.

not + anyone / anybody / anything / anywhere
= no one / nobody / nothing / nowhere

✅ I didn't hear anything.
✅ I heard nothing.
✅ I don't know anyone in this town.
✅ I know no one in this town.
✅ We didn't go anywhere.
✅ We went nowhere.
  • Nakon not / never / hardly / seldom obično upotrebljavamo any-, a ne no-.
    ✅ I have never seen anything like this.
    ❌ I have never seen nothing like this.
    ✅ She hardly knows anyone here.
    ❌ She hardly knows no one here.
  • Ako je niječna zamjenica subjekt, upotrijebi no- i potvrdni glagolski oblik.
    ✅ Nobody came.
    ❌ Anybody didn't come.
    ✅ Nothing will change my mind.
    ❌ Not anything will change my mind.

Something, Anything, Nothing, etc. Pitanja

U neutralnim pitanjima obično upotrebljavamo anyone / anybody / anything / anywhere. U molbama i ponudama često upotrebljavamo some- jer očekujemo pozitivan odgovor ili nudimo pomoć.

Is there + anything / anyone...?
Do / Did / Have + subject + anything / anyone / anywhere...?
Would you like + something...?
Can someone / somebody + verb...?

Is there anything in the bag?
