somewhere

A vague locale

Somewhere indicates an unspecified place: I left my keys somewhere in the house.

It can suggest vagueness or uncertainty about location: She's somewhere in Europe right now.

The word also indicates approximation with numbers: somewhere around fifty people showed up.

To get somewhere is to make progress: Now we're getting somewhere.
