Tips to remember the word “sólo”:

– Link it to the English words “solo” or “solely,” as they share similar meanings and origins.
– Think of a person standing alone in a spotlight, doing a “solo” performance — this image can help you recall the feeling of being “alone” or “only,” which “sólo” represents.
– Note that “sólo” has an accent on the ‘o’, distinguishing it from “solo,” which is an adjective meaning “alone.” However, in recent Spanish language reforms, the accent has become optional, and context determines the meaning.

Explanations:

– “Sólo” is an adverb in Spanish that means “only” or “just.”
– It can be used to indicate that something happens exclusively in a particular way or to a certain degree.

Other words that mean the same thing:

– “Únicamente” (equivalent to “only” or “exclusively”)
– “Solamente” (also translates to “only” or “merely”)
– “Tan solo” (can mean “just” or “only”)

Alternate meanings like slang:

– While “sólo” isn’t typically used as slang, in some contexts, “solo” without the accent can informally denote a feeling of loneliness or being single when used as an adjective.

Examples of sentences that use “sólo”:

– Sólo quiero lo mejor para ti. (I only want the best for you.)
– Voy a comer sólo una galleta. (I’m going to eat just one cookie.)
– Ella trabaja sólo los fines de semana. (She works only on weekends.)
– Sólo con ver su sonrisa, me siento mejor. (Just by seeing her smile, I feel better.)
– Necesitamos sólo tres ingredientes más para la receta. (We need only three more ingredients for the recipe.)
