Usage notes
- Use 'qualcosa' for 'something' in positive statements; 'niente' or 'nulla' for negatives. Avoid mixing them.
- After 'qualcosa', adjectives take the masculine singular form (e.g., 'qualcosa di buono').
- In questions, 'qualcosa' means 'anything' (e.g., 'Vuoi qualcosa?'). No need for 'di' before adjectives here.
