Explanation

도 means “also / too / even”: 저도 학생이에요 (I’m a student too).

만 means “only”: 물만 주세요 (only water, please).

They attach after nouns (and some adverbs). Do not stack randomly: 저도만 is not a beginner pattern.

For “even” extremes you will later meet 조차/마저: start with 도/만 cleanly.

Examples

한국어만 공부해요.
