Apologies & Lesson on Un/ Una y Uno
Palabra del dia will be postponed until tomorrow. Please forgive my lack of words a few times this week.
Gracias!
For now here is a little Spanish lesson.
Un/Una y Uno
The usage of these three words are often confused and misused by those new to the Spanish language.
Uno is used like the number one.
It can be used as follows:
Cuantos libros quiere?
How many books would you like?
You can reply, Uno.
One.
This is a short answer to the question.
But, never say Uno Libro.
One Book
You only use Uno when giving short answers.
Not with words like:
libro (book)
You should say un Libro, por favor.
One book please.
With words you would use un/ una for telling how many objects you want.
Un for masculine.
Una for feminine.
For feminine nouns you would use una.
For masculine nouns you would use un.
Examples:
Tengo Una pelota.
I have one ball.
Tengo un libro.
I have one book.
