"The one" is an informal way of referring to someone's life partner, soulmate, or future spouse. Many people date in the hopes of meeting "the one," and it is a question asked by often by friends or family when someone starts dating someone new. Ex: A: You and John are married now. How did you know you found the one? (Cậu và John đã kết hôn rồi. Làm sao cậu biết anh ấy là định mệnh của cậu?) B: When he took care of me when I was sick. (Khi anh ấy chăm sóc tớ lúc tớ ốm.)
