What does শুধু mean?
শুধু (shudhu) is a Bangla adverb that means only, just, merely in English.
Only, just or merely, placed before whatever it limits, much like English "only". It can sit before a noun, a verb or a whole clause, and is very common in requests and mild complaints. Learners sometimes stack it with মাত্র (matro) for emphasis, which sounds unnatural in ordinary speech.
