    нибудь, либо, кое

    What is the difference between кто-нибудь, кто-либо?

    To my understanding, they both mean "anyone".

    And also, what is the difference between кто-то and кое-кто?

    Don't they both mean someone?

    Is there a situation where you would use one over the other?

    Thanks

    I think that кто-либо, кое-то are poetic and are not used frequently.
    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    I think кто-либо also implys an idea of "various people" as well an anybody.

    Кто-то = Someone
    Кое-кто = A certain someone, as in Mom: Bobby, a certain someone called you. You know who! Кое-кто позвонил...
