Pronoun

- alternative form of eines: strong nominative/accusative neuter singular of einer
- Meine Schwester hat ein Fahrrad und ich will auch eins.
- My sister has a bike and I want one too.
Usage notes
[edit]- Only this form is commonly heard in colloquial German. In formal writing, eins is also perfectly acceptable but somewhat less frequent than eines.
Etymology 2
[edit]Contraction of eines (genitive neuter of ein), from Middle High German eines, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *ainas, form of *ainaz (“one”). Doublet of einst (“once”). That this use is an original genitive results from the Middle High German spelling as well as from the fact that those dialects with an unshifted final -t in etymology 1 (Central Franconian, Low Franconian, Low German) invariably have -s here; cf. Dutch eens.
Adverb
[edit]eins
- (slightly informal) only used in (sich) eins sein (“to agree”) and (sich) eins werden (“to arrive at an agreement”)
- Synonym: (more common) einig
- Wir sind über den Preis nicht eins geworden.
- We couldn't agree on the price.
