DefinitionYour turn

“One-of-a-kind” is a term that describes something truly unique and unlike anything else. You can use this phrase for people, objects, places, or anything that stands out as exceptionally different and exceptional.

It means that this thing is special and there’s nothing else quite like it. Imagine a rare gem that you won’t find anywhere else in the world – that’s a one-of-a-kind gem. It’s used to highlight how exceptional and different something is.

For instance, let’s say you have a handmade piece of art. It’s not mass-produced, and there’s only one in the whole world. You can call it a “one-of-a-kind” piece of art because it’s unique and can’t be replicated. It’s the same idea when we talk about people or places.

“Sphere” in Las Vegas is a one-of-a-kind experience. There are no other concert halls (or even buildings) like it in the world.
