Is the only interchangeable? “He
is a just man” cannot be changed to “He is an only man.” The
positioning of the * makes all the difference, because “He is just a man” would mean “He is only a man”, nor it makes any sense to say that it is assual. ” (Here the placement of the * makes all the difference, because “He is just a man”, and without saying that has been mending all the previous characters) Just
can mean fair or upright. Just can mean only.. You can also mean recently.
So just is only interchangeable with only where it is meant to be interchangeable with only.
My opinion is that this sentence is very ambiguous, because it look like “I just ate pasta”
I just ate pasta. Does this mean to utter “I just ate pasta” or anything like that too? Only the past tense is ambiguous—for true. Since I just ate pasta, means “All I ate was pasta” or it could mean “I ate pasta a few minutes ago.” I always eat pasta and of course I eat it, but can other people just mean that if I eat pasta, I only eat pasta? If a non-native speaker says “I just eat pasta” then it can be ambiguous due to non-native speakers sometimes using present tense as past.
