In a sentence

  • Jag är den enda som känner till hemligheten.

    Here, 'enda' is used as an adjective meaning 'only/single/unique' to specify that the speaker is the sole person who knows the secret.

  • Det är otroligt att detta är det enda exemplet vi har.

    It's incredible that this is the only example we have.

    In this sentence, 'enda' is used to emphasize that a singular example exists.

  • Han skrev inte ett enda ord under mötet.
