el uno
one · a
Es el número que representa la cantidad más pequeña mayor que cero.
The word "uno" in Spanish means "one." It is a number and is used to indicate a single quantity. Additionally, "uno" is used as an indefinite article for masculine nouns, similar to "a" or "an" in English. When used before a noun, it often changes to "un" if the noun is masculine, and remains "una" if the noun is feminine. For example, "un libro" (a book) or "una casa" (a house).
