Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The Spanish pronoun 'algo' means 'something' in English. It is an indefinite pronoun that is used to refer to an unspecified or unknown thing.
In Spanish, 'algo' can be used as a subject or an object pronoun. As a subject pronoun, it is often followed by a verb and indicates the existence or presence of something. For example, 'Algo está pasando' means 'Something is happening.' As an object pronoun, it is used to replace a direct object that is not specified. For instance, 'No veo nada, pero algo me llama la atención' translates to 'I don't see anything, but something catches my attention.'
It's important to note that 'algo' can also be used in expressions such as 'alguien algo sabe' (someone knows something) or 'algo así' (something like that). These expressions add emphasis or provide a vague description.
