What Does 만 meaning in Korean?

만 expresses the choosing of one thing to the exclusion of other things. It corresponds to ’only’ or ‘just’ in English. When used after a number, it can also mean ‘minimum’. It is used by adding 만 to the end of the word being chosen or being stated to the exclusion of other things.

Example:

그 식당은 월요일만 쉬어요. That restaurant is closed on Mondays only.

영원히 Jennie 씨만 사람할 거예요. I will love only Jennie forever.

The particle 만 can be used either in place of the particles 이/가， 은/는， and 을/를， or it can be used together with them. When used together, 만 is added first, followed by 이, 은，or 을，to form 만이， 만은， and 만을.

However, when used with parti이es other than 이/가，은/는, and 을/를， 만 comes after the particles to form 에서만，에게만，and 까지만.
