What is the difference between 'qualche' and 'alcuni'?
Both of these words mean 'some', however 'qualche' is ALWAYS singular and 'alcuni' is ALWAYS plural.
Example: 'I have some friends'
Ho qualche amico
Ho alcuni amici
They both mean the same thing!!! Just don't forget to always keep 'qualche' singular, even though it refers to friends (plural).
