Usage Of เพียงแค่ I Am Not Familiar With

Featured Replies

From my text book

เพียงแค่ค่าเช่าบ้านก็แทบจะไม่มีเงินเหลือแล้ว

เพียงแค่เงินเดือนก็เกือบจะไม่พอกินแล้ว

I had thought เพียงแค่ means only but here it seems to mean something along the lines of as soon as something is done, consequently another thing will happen?

It does mean only.

This sentance translates roughly to :- "I only have enough to pay my rent but not enough to eat, my salary is not enough to eat as well"

Seems to me that these are two separate sentences. And, the words "เพียงแค่" must be viewed in the context of the entire sentence as follows:

เพียงแค่ค่าเช่าบ้านก็แทบจะไม่มีเงินเหลือแล้ว

After paying just the rent alone, I have no money left.



เพียงแค่เงินเดือนก็เกือบจะไม่พอกินแล้ว

My monthly salary alone is not enough to live on.

Yes they are two different examples. Thanks for the responses.
