Perbedaan Penggunaan Kata Just dan Only

Sama artinya, tapi belum tentu sama dalam pemakaian. Seperti

perbedaan penggunaan kata JUST dan ONLY. Keduanya sama-sama masuk dalam kategori
conjunction (kata sambung) dan sama-sama berarti hanya. Tetapi sekalipun sama, keduanya
memiliki sense yang berbeda dalam penggunaannya. Bahkan dalam keadaan tertentu kedua kata
tersebut dapat memiliki arti yang berbeda. Jadi agar tidak bingung apa perbedaan just dan only,
simak ulasan saya berikut ini:

A. JUST
Kata just bisa memiliki beberapa definisi:
1) Recently = Baru saja.

Be careful I have just washed the floor, and its still wet.
(= Aku baru saja mengepel lantai beberapa menit yang lalu)

He just finished a big project.

(= Dia baru saja menyelesaikan proyek besarnya)

2) Only = Hanya

I have just one brother. (= Aku hanya punya satu saudara)

I thought you were hungry, but you ate just half of your sandwich.
(= kamu hanya memakan setengah sandwich kamu, tidak lebih)

B. ONLY
Only bisa diganti dengan just di beberapa keadaan:

Only two students came to class on the day before Christmas.

= Just two students came to class on the day before Christmas.

My kids only use the internet for schoolwork, not for playing games.
= My kids just use the internet for schoolwork, not for playing games.

Pada frase If only yang berarti seandainya, kita bisa menggantinya dengan Just, tapi harus
merubah sedikit struktur kalimatnya:

If only I had studied harder. I wouldve passed the test.

= If I had just studied harder, I wouldve passed the test.

Only and just bisa ditukar-tukar tapi dalam definisi Just pada nomor 2 di atas, dan tidak pada
nomor 1.

Definisi 2 Arti yang sama.

We have just one daughter. = We have only one daughter.

Definisi 1 Artinya beda.

I just washed the floor (beberapa menit yang lalu)
I only washed the floor (aku hanya mengepel lantai, tidak membersihkan yang lainnya)

Tapi, yang jelas tergantung konteks kalimatnya:

Did you clean the whole house?
No, I just washed the floor (= Tidak (semua), aku hanya mengepel lantai, karena tidak
mungkin pertanyaan: apakah kamu membersihkan semua rumah, dijawab: tidak, aku baru saja
mengepel lantai).

Word order
Peletakan kata just juga bisa mempengaruhi arti:

I just ate two pieces of pizza. ( = Aku baru saja makan 2 potong pizza)

I ate just two pieces of pizza ( = Aku hanya makan 2 potong, bukan 3 atau 5)

Demikianlah penjelasan tentang perbedaan penggunaan kata just dan only. Semoga bermanfaat.

Perbedaan Penggunaan Kata Sick dan ill, Hurt, Pain, Ache

A. Pengantar.
Kadang kita dibingungkan dengan perbedaan penggunaan kata sick dan ill dan yang lainnya
seperti hurt, pain dan ache karena semuanya mengarah pada satu makna yaitu sakit. Namun
dalam penggunaannya, kita harus bisa menggunakan diksi (pemilihan kata) yang tepat.

B. Perbedaan Penggunaan Kata Sick dan ill.

1. SICK dan ILL

Ill lebih sering digunakan untuk kondisi badan yang tidak sehat, sementara sick, selain untuk
kondisi badan juga sering digunakan untuk kondisi mental atau jiwa yang tidak sehat.
1. Edi had to leave school early because he was ill.
(Edi harus meninggalkan sekolah lebih awal karena dia sakit)
2. She always laughs everywhere, it seems that she is sick.
(Dia selalu tertawa dimana-mana, sepertinya dia sakit (jiwa).

Dalam bahasa Inggris Amerika, dua kata ini memiliki arti yang sama. Mereka merujuk kepada
perasaan tidak sehat, apa pun penyebab sakitnya. Berbeda dengan Inggris Amerika, Inggris
British menggunakan dua kata tersebut dalam makna yang berbeda. Sick paling sering merujuk
kepada rasa seolah-olah kamu akan muntah (vomit) atau mual. Sedangkan ill untuk penyakit.
2. PAIN dan ACHE

1. Kedua kata tersebut paling sering digunakan sebagai kata benda. Pain
biasanya digunakan untuk rasa sakit atau ketidaknyamanan yang tidak
tertahankan atau akut.
Contoh:
Yesterday, I suddenly felt a lot of pain in my stomach. I was taken to hospital
where they discovered I had appendicitis.
(Kemarin tiba-tiba aku merasakan banyak rasa sakit di perutku. Saya dibawa
ke rumah sakit di mana mereka menemukan saya memiliki usus buntu.)
2. Sedangkan Ache mirip dengan pain, tapi biasanya digunakan untuk merujuk
kepada sakit yang sudah umum diketahui, seperti sakit kepala, sakit perut,
sakit gigi. Jadi penyebutannya digabungkan dengan anggota tubuh. Misal,
kalau yang dimaksud adalah sakit hati karena dihianati misalnya, maka
artinya adalah heartache. Contoh:
He is causing me a lot of heartache.
Note: tidak seperti pain, ache bisa digunakan sebagai kata kerja. Contoh:
My back is really aching.
I wish my leg would stop hurting, it really aches.
3. Hurt

Hurt sedikit berbeda dengan yang lain dalam hal itu biasa digunakan sebagai kata kerja dan kata
sifat dan sebagai kata benda (tapi kurang umum). Dari beberapa kata sakit di atas, Hurt mungkin
paling mirip dengan pain dan ache dan juga dapat berarti sama dengan melukai atau terluka.
Bedanya, Hurt lebih cenderung terjadi karena faktor eksternal atau disebabkan oleh sesuatu di
luar diri kamu.
Be careful on that ladder, you might hurt yourself if you fall. (Hati-hati di tangga itu, kamu bisa
menyakiti diri sendiri jika terjatuh.

2. Kelompok yang jatuh sebelum kata atau frase yang tidak membentuk kalimat:
o in spite of;
i.e: In spite of getting wet, I am going to school.
o despite;
i.e: Despite very cool, I still feel hot.
o notwithstanding
i.e: I will go notwithstanding rainy.
Note: khusus untuk nevertheless dan however, cara menerjemahkannya harus ditambah dengan
kata demikian sehingga menjadi meskipun demikian.

Tim: Henry, what are you doing?
Henry: I have been trying to solve this physics problem for the last half hour, and I still have no
idea how to do it.

Tim: When do you have to turn it in?

Henry: It is due at the end of this week.
Tim: Well, it is only Monday. Why dont you get some after-school-tutoring tomorrow?
Henry: I have to sign up for it first. I guess I will go sign up for the Wednesday session
tomorrow.
Tim: You should reread the chapter before you show up for the session. It will help you
understand the subject matter better.
Henry: OK, I will do that.
Tim: Now that your problem is solved, I need you to lend me a hand with my problem.
Henry: What is up?
Tim: I need to build a new doll house for Nancy. I was putting her doll house away, and
somehow I accidentally dropped it. It was broken into pieces.
Henry: How clumsy of you! Does she know?
Tim: I told her about it. I could not lie to her.
Henry: How did she take it?
Tim: My sister really liked that doll house, and obviously she was not very happy. But, I told her
that I would build a better one for her. So, I need your help.

Henry: Me? Help you? I have never built anything in my life.

Tim: Me neither. But, dont worry. Putting together pieces of wood is not going to be difficult.
Henry: It is more than just putting pieces of wood together. You need to put in windows and
doors. Have you thought about how you would do that?
Tim: Who says houses need to have windows and doors?
Henry: So, you are going to build a doll house with no windows and no doors?
Tim: Yes, I do not see anything wrong with that. Do you?
Henry: No. It makes the project easier to handle now. But, are you sure that Nancy will not mind
having a doll house with no doors and no windows?
Tim: Yes, I am sure.
Henry: Are you sure that Nancy will find this doll house with no doors and no windows prettier
than the one you broke?
Tim: No, I am not sure. Why do you have to make things so complicated?
Henry: I am not trying to complicate things. You did tell Nancy that the new doll house would
be better than the one you broke. I just want to remind you of your promise.
Tim: Ah, I wish I have not touched her doll house! What should I do then?

Henry: Get help from somebody who knows how to build a doll house. I would not be of any
help to you in this project.
Tim: Who do you suggest I ask?
Henry: Mr. Brown used to be a carpenter. He will be glad to help you out. Why dont you give
him a call, and see whether he has some free time.
Tim: You are right. It will take us forever to build this doll house. With Mr. Browns help, I can
finish it in no time.
Henry: OK, now that your problem is solved, can you help me trim the trees in the back yard?
Tim: Who? Me? Trim the trees in your back yard? It will take us ages to trim those trees. Lets
see who is good at trimming trees. Ah, you can ask Mr. Brown. He is also good at trimming
trees. And, when you ask for his help, please ask him to help me build a doll house also.
