Asking if you are there いますか or いるの？


I want to ask if someone is there. Can both terms be used to ask if a person
is there/are you there? いますか or いるの？




I assume what you are asking is "どなたか／誰か + いますか？／いるの？" construction.

> どなたか／誰か + **いますか** ？

means you want to **get the reply** from someone if they are staying there.

So, if someone is replying, it might **relieve** you.

> どなたか／誰か + **いるの** ？

means you **are wondering** if someone is there since it is **unlikely/no
sign** someone is staying there. So, if someone is replying, it might
**surprise** you.
