Lines from the Japanese subtitles of episodes 1–3 of each show. A translation is shown only when it clearly matches the line; counts are subtitle lines containing the word.
Usage and nuance
The polite version is どなた (donata). 誰 is neutral, and 誰だ with だ sounds rough and alarmed.
Add か and it becomes "someone": 誰か助けて is "somebody help!". Add も with a negative and it becomes "nobody": 誰もいない is "there is no one here".
誰のせいだ is "whose fault is this?", and 誰にも言うな is "don't tell anyone", both staples of dramatic dialogue.
