urgent/emergency situation

[toxic wyvern]

Someone helps me as a statement

imo

i wouldve said

[covert moon]

Someone helps/is helping me

[toxic wyvern]

Quelqu'un peut m'aider?

Can someone help me

[lapis roost]

ohhhhhhh

[toxic wyvern]

is better as youre asking for help

[lapis roost]

tysm

[toxic wyvern]

de rien

or even

[lapis roost]

il peut right

[toxic wyvern]

Il y a quelqu'un qui peut/pourrait m'aider

[toxic wyvern]

as in Quelqu'un peut m'aider?
yes as quelqu'un is a singular pronoun that takes il/elle conjugation

[lapis roost]

so "pourrait m'aider" alone can work?

[toxic wyvern]

no

" could help me"

is what that is literally

[covert moon]

Quelqu'un peut m'aider ? → informal
Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider ? → neutral
Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider ? → formal

[lapis roost]

il y a quelqu'un qui pourrait m'aider (complete?)

ohhh so it is quelqu'un "peut-il" m'aider ty

[covert moon]

If you add "il y a" it's asking if someone is there who can help

Quelqu'un peut m'aider → Someone can help me
Quelqu'un pourrait m'aider → Somone could help me

[lapis roost]

i learned "y a" = "is there" (no person involved) is this correct?

[toxic wyvern]

yes its informal tho

"il y a" is a concept itself of there is

[covert moon]

Best to focus on "il y a" until you get more French knowledge

[lapis roost]

ah so, y a -> short for il y a ?

but informal/slang

[toxic wyvern]

voilà

[lapis roost]

[viral tinsel]

aidez-moi is more like youre socially superior to the persons youre talking to so you can give them orders
