I just got to know him last year [closed]
"I just got to know him." If I'm not wrong this sentence means, I recently meet him?
If that's the case, what does "I just got to know him last year" mean? One year is a long time, so what does this actually mean?
"just" has several meanings. One of them is "recently", but when combined with other adverbials of time "just" can mean -- as I think is the case here -- "only". Imagine this conversation:
A: Tell me more about your neighbor.
B: Well, I don't know him very well. Actually, I just got to know him last year. (= I got to know him only last year.)
