Note:When one is used impersonally as an indefinite pronoun, it is translated by si or uno when it is the subject of the verb: one never knows = non si sa mai; one would like to think that... = uno vorrebbe credere che... When one is the object of the verb or comes after a preposition, it is usually translated by te o ti: it can make one ill = ti può far ammalare. - When used as an indefinite pronoun, one is very formal; it is only used when you do not mean any one person in particular, in very general statements, stock phrases and proverbs: one must eat to live, not live to eat = si deve mangiare per vivere, non vivere per mangiare; one has to look after one's health = ci si deve preoccupare della propria salute. - As a consequence, one is very often substituted with you: you can do as you like here = qui si può fare quello che si vuole. - One and its plural form ones are used instead of a noun that has already been mentioned, and after this and that: "which of these books do you want?" "the big one, please" = "quale di questi libri vuoi?" "quello grosso, per favore"; I need some new ones = ne ho bisogno di nuovi; give me that one, not this one = dammi quello, non questo. - One and ones, however, are not used after these and those, the genitive case, and cardinal numbers: I want these = voglio questi; I won't drive my car, I'll get there in John's = non userò la mia macchina, ci andrò con quella di John; I'll take four = ne prendo quattro. - For more examples and all other uses, see the entry below., 1, 4* * *1. noun1) (the number or figure 1: One and one is two (1 + 1 = 2).) uno2) (the age of 1: Babies start to talk at one.) un anno2. pronoun1) (a single person or thing: She's the one I like the best; I'll buy the red one.)2) (anyone; any person: One can see the city from here.)3. adjective1) (1 in number: one person; He took one book.) un, una2) (aged 1: The baby will be one tomorrow.) un anno3) (of the same opinion etc: We are one in our love of freedom.) concorde•- one-- oneself
