To Only You or Only To You?

prepositions word-order usage

I need some native English speakers to answer this one.

Is it

  1. "Alarms are visible to only you."

OR

  1. "Alarms are visible only to you."

Thanks in advance!


"Alarms are visible to only you" sounds very awkward, if not flat out wrong. I don't think a native speaker would phrase it like that.

"Alarms are visible only to you" is perfectly fine, but consider also...

"Alarms are visible to you only" rather old fashioned and formal. Perhaps comes to mind because of the James Bond book/film For Your Eyes Only (if you dig up the theme song to this on YouTube, you'll hear a few you/only constructions, and see some nice things too!). A more natural variant might be "Alarms are visible to you alone."

What I think I'd say would be none of the above, but "alarms are only visible to you."
