Indefinite pronouns in Spanish, such as 'algo', 'nadie', and 'todos', are crucial for non-specific references in communication. They differ from adjectives by replacing nouns and require proper verb agreement for accurate meaning. Context and negation play significant roles in their interpretation and use in everyday language, making them key to fluency.
