nobody - somebody - anybody - everybody

- I'd like a translation of "anybody" when it's used in a sentence like this one: "anybody could dress well with all that money" (and not in a sentence like "I haven't spoken to anybody"). I'm saying this because for example most Romance languages would use two different pronouns for those two sentences.

- Just write the conventional citation form, don't inflect for other genders or other things.

What do you mean "if countable"? I'm asking for a pronoun...

I also said this:

- Just write the conventional citation form, don't inflect for gender or other things.


Or to be more precise, don't inflect for other genders beyond the one of the citation form.

Example :

If I translate the Italian "tutti" I would simply say "totu" (northern Sardinian) or "totus" (southern Sardinian); but if I specify a number, for example a phrase like : tutti e due, tutte e due -> the Sardinian translation is "totos duos", "totas duas" (and not "totu duos" or "totus duos").

"jeder" does not mean "anybody", just in a few contexts maybe.

Why not give us the right word then?

+ Estonian, Võro, Hmong, additions to German. There is quite a bit of crossover or overlap between anyone/someone and anyone/everyone depending on the context in different languages. The word choice isn't necessarily the same in every language. So, Hmong "leejtwg" can mean "someone" or "anyone," while German "jeder" can many "anyone" or "everyone" depending on the context, as can Estonian "igaüks", and it isn't ambiguous - context and language conventions make it clear.
(Something similar happens with the word "anyone" in English: when we say "anyone can do that" we mean everyone, all people; but when we say "is there anyone here who can help me?" we mean someone, just one person will do. Context makes clear which type of "anyone" we mean. Same with "jeder" and same with "igaüks".) So the meanings of these words is a bit of a continuum, and translations aren't always direct in terms of a one-to-one correspondence along that continuum.

I did say what kind of "anybody" I'm looking for though. So that should do away with some of the ambiguity.

Things are getting a bit too cumbersome in some languages.

Can we limit the multiple options down to two? And only if they're really different words, not just pretty much the same word with minor phonetic differences?
