Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The Spanish adverb 'solo' means 'only' in English. It is used to indicate that something or someone is the sole or exclusive one, without any others.
In Spanish, 'solo' can be used as an adjective, pronoun, or adverb. As an adjective, it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. As a pronoun, it can refer to a person or thing that is alone or without company. And as an adverb, it modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to express exclusivity or singularity.
It's important to note that 'solo' has a feminine form, 'sola', which is used when referring to a female subject. Additionally, when 'solo' is used before a masculine singular noun starting with a stressed 'a' sound (like 'amigo'), it changes to 'sólo' with an accent mark.
