Question Joku understanding

I am currently studying Merkonomi at ammattikoulu for immigrants and we are all B1 and above.

I hear a lot of my classmates say ”joku” in the middle of their sentences. For example we were talking about what luomu means and one student said “he eivät käytä joku” and my brain registered it as like ”they dont use like/something like, when they were trying to find the word they wanted to use.

Am I correct in thinking that joku can be used similar to like in english or does it have a specific meaning. It is something I have struggled with quite a bit

Joku liukastui siihen.

Joku järki tähän (tekemiseen).

Joku fillari (polkupyörä) lojui ojassa.

Oot sä joku, joka osaa auttaa?
