Words ending in -one and -body mean the same : somebody=someone, anyone=anybody, no one=nobody, everyone=everybody. All are pronouns. So, your answer is: someone and somebody mean the same.

"Someone" is used as a pronoun. "Somebody" can be used as a pronoun , and as a noun, too. Ex.: He is somebody now. They thought they were somebodies. (a personality)

I think they are interchangeable. Look at some of lyrics to "Someone to watch over me" There’s a somebody I’m longin’ to see I hope that he, turns out to be Someone who’ll watch over me My feeling is that 'somebody' is used in the 1st line because it helps the meter of the song flow better (3 syllables vs 2). So the point is, the main difference in use would be for how it flows in music, poetry or even regular speech if you are that attuned.

heuuh thx for the explanation ^^ -I get that when we use someone it means that we're talking about a person as capacities, personnality or that we know simply -and when we use somebody it means that we're talking about a person as a human being is it that ?
