This is a fun word. It isn’t one of those “English doesn’t have it,” things. It’s just a bit unique and clever.
In English, “unos/unas” translates to something like “some, a couple, a few,” or “around, about, or so.” For example, you might say, “See you in a few weeks,” or, “I need a couple apples,” or “I live about five miles from work.”
- “Let’s meet up in a few weeks.”
“Nos vemos en unas semanas” - “You need a couple papers.”
“Hace falta unos documentos.”
Great, so what’s so interesting? What’s so interesting is that “unos” is the plural of “uno”.
