What is an Indefinite Pronoun?

Indefinite Pronoun को हिंदी व्याकरण में अनिश्चयवाचक सर्वनाम कहते हैं. अर्थात ऐसे Pronouns Word जिनसे किसी निश्चित व्यक्ति या वस्तु का बोध न होता हो उन्हें Indefinite Pronoun कहते हैं. जैसे –

• There is something. ( वंहा कुछ है.)
• Someone is coming. ( कोई आ रहा है.)
• They are eating something. (वे कुछ खा रहे हैं.)

ऊपर के दिए हुए Examples में कुछ निश्चिता नहीं दिखाई देती है. पहले वाक्य को पढ़ने से मालूम होता है कि – वंहा कुछ है ,लेकिन क्या है  यह नहीं पता. इसी तरह दूसरे Sentence में भी कोई आ रहा है, लेकिन कौन है वह, यह नहीं पता. और तो और तीसरे Sentence में भी  – वे लोग कुछ खा रहे हैं लेकिन क्या खा रहे हैं, यह नहीं पता.

यंहा पर प्रयोग होनेवाले Something, Someone, ऐसे शब्द Indefinite Pronouns हैं.
