Usage notes

• When it is unclear from the context whether een is the number or the indefinite article, the former is written with acute accents: één. In all other cases it is written without. For example, een van die is 'one of those'. But een appel can mean both 'one apple' and 'an apple', so if the former is intended one would write één appel.

Examples

• Een hoed: a hat; een oor; an ear.
• Eén voor allen, allen voor één: one for all, all for one. (The motto of The Three Musketeers.)
