- Swedish
någon and något means the same, but någon is used when refering to "en"-nouns (i.e. nouns like "en katt"), and något is used when refering to "ett"-nouns (i.e. nouns like "ett hus"). Några is the plural-form of någon/något. The exact same applies for the other three words: ingen and inget means the same, and inga is their plural-form.

Also, någon/ingen, when used alone, often refers to people. For example:
Kan någon hjälpa mig? = Can someone help me?
Ingen kan hjälpa dig = Nobody can help you.
