| | “Aa?” (આ?), “Shun Aa?” (શું આ?), “(Kayu?) “Aa?” (કયુ? આ?) | Explanation:
Yes, literal translation is “Aa Ek?”
However, the ideal translation that’s commonly used is… “Shun Aa?” (શું આ?) OR just “Aa?” (આ?) or even “(Kayu?) “Aa?” (કયુ? આ?). Pl. check the following examples involving THIS ONE usages:
Asking ‘This one?’ in short, could lead to elaborate as…
1) (Is/Was) This (The) one? = “Shun, Aa (Chhe/Hatu)?” OR “Aa (Chhe/Hatu)?” OR “Shun Aa?” (શું આ?) OR just “Aa?” (આ?)
2) (Is/Was it) This one? = “Shun (Te) Aa (Chhe/Hatu)?” OR “Shun Aa (Chhe/Hatu)?” OR “Shun Aa?” OR just “Aa?”
3) (Which?) This one? = “(Kayu?) “Aa?” OR just “Aa?” OR “Shun Aa?”
So as you could note, the common way of saying ‘This one’ in Gujarati is “Shun Aa?” OR simply, just “Aa?” or even “(Kayu?) “Aa?”.
Here, pl note the ideal way of writing “Shun” (શું) which is not “Shu” (શુ).
Pl. feel free to ask for any clarifications.

Okay Goldenstat. Thanks.
Hatu = હતું, Hato = હતો, Hata = હતા (All three represent Past Tense)
Example:
1) You had picked up several coins, was it this one? => Te (or Tame) Ghana Sikka Lidha Hata, Shun Te Aa Hato?
2) Your choice is excellent, is it this one? => Tari (Tamari) Pasand Uttam Chhe, Shun Te Aa Chhe?
