The name of the number one, as a noun, is Eins. In order to distinguish the numeral ("one") from the indefinite article ("a, an"), the former (which is stressed in pronunciation) may be printed in italics or with increased letterspacing: Ich hatte nur ein Bier bestellt. Ich hatte nur ein Bier bestellt. ein can stay uninflected as in ein oder zwei Wochen (“one or two weeks”), ein bis zwei Wochen (“one to two weeks”) ein can be governed by the definite article to mean "the one": Ich hatte nur das eine Bier bestellt. (“I had ordered just the one beer.”) ===== Alternative forms ===== Ein éin (rare, nonstandard) ==== Article ==== ein m or n a, an ein Mann ― a man eine Frau ― a woman ein Kind ― a child ==== Article ==== ein nominative/accusative neuter singular of ein (nonstandard, fast speech) misconstruction of einen ===== Usage notes ===== In (originally) central and northern vernaculars the diphthong ei- is usually not pronounced in the indefinite article, which gives rise to the informal contractions ’n, ’ne, ’nem, ’ner (dative), and ’nen. (There are no contracted genitive forms.) Earlier contracted forms which are not in use anymore are eim for einem (though compare modern colloquial ei’m) and eins for eines (as in eins Mann[e]s, eins Kind[e]s). Even older forms are ein for eine (as in ein Frau), einm for einem and einr for einer. ===== Declension ===== ===== Alternative forms ===== ain (dated) 'n (informal) ===== Coordinate terms ===== ===== Related terms ===== einer === Etymology 2 === Related to in, from Old High German in, from Proto-Germanic *in, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁én.

Compare Breton hon. === Pronunciation === (standard) IPA(key): /ei̯n/ (colloquial) IPA(key): /ən/ Rhymes: -ei̯n === Determiner === ein (triggers h-prothesis of a following vowel) our === Pronoun === ein (triggers h-prothesis of a following vowel) us (as the direct object of a verbal noun) ==== Usage notes ==== Ni is often added after the noun or verbnoun which ein precedes. In formal language, this is done to emphasise the determiner or pronoun. In colloquial language, it is not necessarily an indicator of emphasis, and is often included with the determiner and always included with the pronoun. The exception to the latter case is in passive constructions employing cael, where ni is never used. In formal Welsh, the contraction 'n is a valid form of ein found after mostly functional vowel-final words. In colloquial Welsh, ein is often contracted to 'n after almost any vowel-final word. Pronomial ein or 'n can occur before any verbal noun. Before a verb, pronomial 'n is found only in formal language after certain vowel-final preverbal particles. See entry for 'n for more information. The colloquial pronunciation /ən/ is the original pronunciation, as shown by the Middle Welsh form yn. The more careful pronunciation /ei̯n/ is a later spelling pronunciation. === Further reading === R. J. Thomas, G. A. Bevan, P. J. Donovan, A.
