Explanation
Nobody is another way to say no one. It means not a single person. People use it in everyday speech when they want to talk about the absence of people. For example, if nobody answers the phone, it means the line is silent. It can also express loneliness or situations where help is unavailable. Nobody is less formal than no one and is common in conversations. Both words are interchangeable in most situations.
