Today you will learn the last meaning of “Only” in Korea I prepared for you. This is very high frequency Korean use when they want to express in negative way. In positive way, they will say I only need potatoes/감자만 필요해요, but in negative way I only have potatoes/감자 밖에 없어. The grammar is “Noun + 밖에 (없다/못하다)”. Please see more examples using 밖에 below.

I have only 5 minutes for you/ 5분 밖에 없어요/ o bun park ae eop eo yo.
