-(으)ㄹ 뿐이다

Only, Merely, Solely, Just

Explanation

This expression is used when there is only one available course of action or state of being. In such cases, 뿐 has the same meaning as 오직 (solely, merely, only).

Details

This expression can be made even more emphatic by using the form N만 -(으)ㄹ 뿐이다 or A/V-기만 -(으)ㄹ 뿐이다.

저는 그냥 그 사람의 얼굴만 알 뿐입니다.
I really only know that person’s face (and nothing else).
그 사람한테 연락이 오기만을 기다리고 있을 뿐이에요.
