只不过 (zhǐ bù guò) — only; just; merely (used to introduce a limiting or concessive point)

定義

A conjunction meaning 'it's just that...' — introduces a small exception or limiting point after a positive statement. Sets up a concession: 'X is fine, 只是/只不过 Y' softens the second clause as a minor drawback.

conjunction
