solamente, sólo, único(a)

Question

Cuando usaré las palabras en el título? Sé que las significas de las palabras son "only" pero no como se utiliza. (When would I use "solamente, sólo, and único? en Spanish? I know they all mean "only" but I don't know when to use one over the other) Gracias de antemano.

Answer 1

Solamente is an adverb. Solo and único are adjectives. Solo means more like "alone", while "único" tends towards "the only one". That's a generalization. They're all often used interchangeably, depending on the context.
