- Just (a moment ago) / just barely - 我刚到 (wǒ gāng dào) I just arrived; 刚好 (gānghǎo) just right/exactly.
- Distinguish 刚 (an adverb, right before the verb: 他刚走 he just left) from 刚才 (gāngcái, a time noun = 'just now' that can sit at the front: 刚才他走了).
- Doubled 刚刚 (gānggāng) intensifies 'only just now'. 刚 also carries a 'firm/hard' sense in compounds.
