Memory Hook
Imagine you're at a party and see a mysterious figure. You whisper, 'Who is that?' — it's 'someone' unknown. '誰か' (dareka, 'someone') sounds like 'dare' (who) + 'ka' (question particle), but here it means 'someone'.
Cultural Note
In Japanese, 『誰か』 (dareka, 'someone') is often used in casual conversations to refer to an unspecified person, similar to English. It's common in questions like 『誰かいますか？』 (dareka imasu ka?, 'Is someone there?') in social settings.
