For example, 'Ho bisogno di alcune mele' means 'I need some apples', while 'Non ho alcuna idea' means 'I have no idea'.
When used as a negative pronoun, alcuno means 'none' or 'not any'. For example, 'Non ho alcun soldo' means 'I have no money', while 'Non c'è alcuna possibilità' means 'There is no possibility'.
