Bara - Just/Simply/Only/Solely/Nothing more than Enda - Only/Single/Solitary/Sole They can be synonyms, but they are used somewhat differently: Examples: Jag ska bara äta lite först. - I'm only/just going to eat a little first. Jag ska bara stanna över natten. - I'm only/just staying for the night. Jag har bara ett barn. - I only have one child. En enda sak. - One thing only. Mitt enda barn - My only child. Det enda jag bryr mig om... - The only thing I care about... Bara en enda gång - Just one time (and one time only)

Bara from my take is only/just where enda is only in terms of the only one only/sole child
