What exactly does なにか mean in this sentence?


So I read this, [What does なにか mean in this
sentence?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/52861/what-
does-%e3%81%aa%e3%81%ab%e3%81%8b-mean-in-this-sentence) and to clarify, I also
ran across a sentence, "何かプレゼントを買いましょうか? Here, I'm guessing 何か does not mean
something, or at least I think, so does the sentence mean like, "Lets go buy
some kind of present?" or

Could it be, "lets go buy some presents?"




明鏡国語辞典 does not explicitly explain the part of speech of this type of 何か. It
just says it's a "phrase" (連語). Rather than worrying about the direct English
translation of this type of 何か, I think you just can remember this pattern and
go on. This pattern is translated into English in slightly different ways
depending on the surrounding context, and I hesitate to conclusively say it's
"some", "something", "any" or "anything" in English.
