I can explain here, I guess! (if you still need this, of course) 'één' is a number, 'een' is an article :3 The pronunciation is different, but I can't explain that xD You use 'een' when it's just a random thing, you use 'de' of 'het' when it's a specific thing: een boom (can be any tree), de boom (that specific tree) You use 'één' just like 'one' in English.

I have seen "méér" written with the accents in various printed materials, but I can't find an explanation for the differences in meaning or usage. Help, please?
