Swedish
Etymology
From Old Swedish ena. Cognate with Danish ene, Norwegian Bokmål ene, Norwegian Nynorsk eine, eina, German einen. Equivalent to en (“one”) + -a.
Pronunciation
Pronoun
ena
- one; definite of en
Jag måste välja den ena eller den andra.- I must choose one or the other.
- (dialectal) ones; plural form of en
Ni var ena lustiga ena!- You are some funny ones!
Verb
ena (present enar, preterite enade, supine enat, imperative ena)
- to unite (bring about agreement among the members of a group)
Han enade det splittrade landet- He united the divided country
Usage notes
- See also enas, which is a separate deponent verb (though with a meaning very close to the expected one): "De enades" means "they came to an agreement" rather than "they were united (by some third party)."
- For uniting separate entities, see förena.
