I need your help.

"誰かいないのか"

As far as I understand it, this translates to something like, "I want to know,
if there somebody, who is available now"

The questions are:

  1. Is the translation ok?
  2. Could you explain the grammar of this sentence? I was trying to find out about "inai no ka" but didn't manage to do it :( 

I really count on you guys!

Thank you!

P.S. yes, I'm a newbie

What is the meaning? -- 誰かいないのか
「誰かいないのか」most likely means "Is anyone here?" without further context. It's the
kind of thing you'd say if you walked into an empty room expecting to find
someone, but there was no one there.

いないのか is just a questioning form of いない. It's very casual but has a bit of
urgency to it. It's kind of like saying "Isn't there someone here?!" or
"Anybody home?!"
