"क्या वहाँ कोई है?"

Translation: Is someone there?

"Is there anybody?" ..is it not also a right sentence..?,,

[vinay92]

In your sentence, 'there' is used as a pronoun which roughly means 'there exists'. We want to use the noun 'there' (corresponding to वहाँ) which means 'that place'.

So, switching around the words, "Is anybody there" seems like a good enough translation and should be accepted.

Hindi does not differentiate much between 'someone' and 'anyone'. You can use "कोई" and "कोई भी" respectively for the two but in sentences like the one we have, both 'someone' and 'anyone' work.

I think "Is there someone there" is more correct
