    \textit{A. V. Arkhangel'skij} [Sov. Math., Dokl. 10, 951--955 (1969); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 187, 967--970 (1969; Zbl 0191.20903)] proved that for a Hausdorff topological space \(X\), it holds that \(|X|\leq 2^{L(X)\cdot \chi(X)}\), where \(L(X)\) and \(\chi(X)\) denote the Lindelöf number and the character of \(X\), respectively. In [Can. Math. Bull. 31, No. 2, 153--158 (1988; Zbl 0646.54005)], \textit{A. Bella} and \textit{F. Cammaroto} proved that for a Urysohn space \(X\) the inequality \(|X|\leq 2^{aL(X)\cdot \chi(X)}\) holds, where \(aL(X)\) denotes the almost Lindelöf number of \(X\). \textit{D. N. Stavrova} introduced in [Topol. Proc. 25(Summer), 333--343 (2000; Zbl 1027.54006)] the Urysohn pseudocharacter, \(U\psi (X)\), for a Urysohn space \(X\), obtaining \(|X|\leq 2^{aL(X)\cdot U\psi(X)}\) when \(X\) is a Urysohn space. In this paper, the authors consider the \(n\)-Hausdorff pseudocharacter of \(X\), \(H\psi(X)\), and the \(n\)-Urysohn pseudocharacter of \(X\), \(U\psi(X)\), to prove the following results: 1) If \(X\) is an \(n\)-Hausdorff space, \(n\geq 2\), and \(Y\subseteq X\), then \(|Y|\leq 2^{L(Y,X)\cdot n-H\psi(X)}\). 2) If \(X\) is an \(n\)-Urysohn space, where \(n\geq 2\) is finite, and \(Y\subseteq X\), then \(|Y|\leq 2^{aL(Y,X)\cdot n-U\psi(X)}\).
