In this lesson, we are looking at how to say “nothing but” or “only” in Korean. We already introduced one expression that means “only” in Level 2 Lesson 15, which is -만 [-man].
The expression we are introducing in this lesson consists of two parts:
“밖에 + negative verb conjugation”
The way this works is similar to saying “nothing else but” or “do not do anything other than” in English.
밖 [bakk] = outside, outdoors
밖에 [bakke] = outside something, other than something, out of the range of something
밖에 [bakke] + negative verb conjugation = ONLY + verb
