Tentang たった(の)

たった is a common adverb in Japanese that originates from an emphasized alteration of 唯(ただ) 'only', 'merely'. たった keeps the same meaning of ただ in that it just expresses that something is 'only (A)', 'just (A)', or 'no more than (A)'.

This nuance is usually used when the actual number of (A) is exceptionally low compared to the speaker's expectation of anticipation. たった will often appear at the beginning of sentences, and will either modify the whole sentence, or a specific number when followed by の and then that number.

As たった is an adverb that is usually used for emphasis, it often accompanies other similar grammar patterns like だけ, しか, etc.

Fun-fact

The common expression ただいま 'now', or 'I'm home' may occasionally be seen in the emphasized form たったいま. This is primarily when the meaning is 'now', or 'just now' (right at this present moment), rather than 'I'm home'.

        Maybe you can think of it as:
        彼は – As for me, As for my situation
        たった一人の兄弟です – it is just a one-brother [situation]

        Just like when you answer あなたの家族は？
        You could answer: お父さん、お母さん、弟です。
        In other words, how you define “your family”.
        (You could say that the translation is not the best, but it’s using more natural English than “My ‘brothers’ is defined by just one brother”.)

        My feeling is when you use いる you’re describing something more immediate, like “they are here right now in the other room” (not entirely sure though).

        Duh. Watashi wa ringo desu.
        I’ve known this since day four of studying Japanese.
        But I somehow forgot along the way.

        Thanks for explaining so patiently you guys.

        Hey guys!

        I changed the translation to “He is my only sibling(brother)”.
        I feel its closer to the original intention.

        Cheers
