Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

@worldly meteor It means 'only':

Je n'ai qu'un vélo.
I only have a bike.

#

Combined with 'pas' it would become 'not only':

Je n'ai pas qu'un vélo.
I don't just have a bike (I also have a car).

#

je n'ai pas qu'un vélo could also be i don't just have one bike (i have several)

#

but then you can say pas qu'un seul to make it clearer
