The word"just [only]" in thai language we say   "kâe"   (แค่)


"kâe"  means "just [only] , not more than"


We use  "kâe" when we feel something is not much , not many or not enough .
So it depends on feeling of each person.


For example, if your monthly salary is 50,000 baht  but you think it is not much
or not enough for you. You can say
"kâe"

I got monthly salary just 50,000 per month.

But for me 50,000 baht per month is enough , so I don't use "kâe".

You can use "tâo-nán ayng"(เท่านั้นเอง)

or "ayng" (เอง)to emphasize the sentence.
