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 ==== eins (slightly informal) only used in (sich) eins sein (“to agree”) and (sich) eins werden (“to arrive at an agreement”) Synonym: (more common) einig === Further reading === “eins” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “eins” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “eins” in Duden online eins on the German Wikipedia.Wikipedia de == Icelandic == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈeins/ Rhymes: -eins === Adverb === eins alike, identical ==== Derived terms ==== alveg eins (“exactly alike, identical”) eins og (“similar to, identical to”) undir eins (“immediately”) falla eins og flís við rass === Conjunction === eins equally; as Ég ætla að lesa eins hratt og ég get. ― I'm going to read as fast as I can.
