Domande Frequenti

What's the difference between 'única' and 'sola'?

'Única' means 'the only one' of a group (la única persona) or 'unique/special' (una experiencia única). 'Sola' means 'alone' or 'by oneself' (Ella está sola).

Why does 'única' sometimes go before the noun and sometimes after?

Great question! Its position changes the emphasis. Before the noun ('la única casa'), it almost always means 'the only one'. After the noun ('una casa única'), it often highlights that the house is 'unique and special'.
