A user suggests that this entry should be cleaned up, giving the reason: “translation sections: what’s with the ‘var’? Some languages are only dialects. English doesn’t make a difference between the cases for the pronoun, they should only occur in the translations (but see uncle). Check the Danish and Hindi ones.”.
Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup(+) or the talk page for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.

[edit] Pronunciation

[edit] Numeral

one

  1. (cardinal) A numerical value equal to 1; the first number in the set of natural numbers (especially in number theory); the cardinality of the smallest nonempty set.
    There is only one Earth.
    In Western culture, a baby turns one year old a year after its birth.
    One person, one vote.
  2. The ordinality of an element which has no predecessor, usually called first or number one.

[edit] Usage notes

  • For what reason are the English words one and once pronounced so, while other words derived from one, like alone, only and atone, pronounced with a long o? Stressed vowels often became diphthongs over time (Latin bona → Italian buona and Spanish buena). A similar thing happened in the late Middle Ages to the English words one and once, first recorded circa 1400. The vowel sound underwent some changes, such as the pronunciation (from ōn → ōōōn → wōn → wōōn → wŏŏn → wŭn).
