No. 36 in Greek
ένας
"Ένας" means "a" or "one" in English.
In a sentence
Αυτός είναι ένας καλός άνθρωπος.
He is a good man.
Here, "ένας" functions as the indefinite article in Greek, equivalent to 'a' or 'an' in English, used to describe a singular, non-specific entity.
Χρειάζομαι μόνο ένας να με βοηθήσει.
I only need one person to help me.
In this case, "ένας" is used to signify the number one, emphasizing a singular quantity.
Είναι ένας γιατρός που εργάζεται εδώ.
He is a doctor who works here.
Here, "ένας" again functions as an indefinite article, introducing a general or non-specific entity, similar to its role in the first example.
