Is the word "nobodies" correct in General English?
2011-11-17 10:07 am
In Hong Kong, I heard that some English teachers use the word "nobodies" and as I am a Hong Kong student, I don't understand what this word means. I think that the word "no" means nothing so how can the word "nobodies" comes up? Please help me to solve my question. Thanks a lot!

The only way it's used would be spelled "Nobody's" The 's standing for is. As in "Nobody's perfect".

It is correct in this sentence.
This year's "I'm a celebrity" celebrities are a right bunch of nobodies.

"Nobodies" are people of no consequence or influence. (As opposed to "somebodies" who are the "movers and shakers", celebrities, people in the news and in the know, for example.)
參考: American, former journalist and editor.

You can say a person is "a nobody", meaning he's unimportant, etc. If you have more than one such person, you have a group of "nobodies".

A "nobody" is a person of no worth, no influence.
The plural of that would be "Nobodies"
The plural of that would be "Nobodies"

No, but "impossible" is a word, and it means the same thing. Your English is pretty good. Here's how the passage would have been written in perfect English: I am a guy from Hong Kong and I would like to ask you guys a question. Is "unpossible" a real English word? Why do so many people use it on the net? I hope you can answer my question. Thanks a lot and please forgive my poor English.

They are a bunch of nobodies/nobodys - useless people
The umbrella is nobodies/nobodys - belongs to no-one.
