In a sentence

だれsomeoneげんかん玄関entranceいるthere is

Someone's at the entrance

How it works

だれ (who) plus (some-) makes 誰かだれか (someone) — when (question) attaches to a question word it turns it indefinite. The location 玄関げんかん (entrance) is marked by (at), which here pins down where something exists. The verb いる (is (animate)) is used for living beings, so the line means "someone is at the door".
