I overheard in a conversation about four books and someone responded saying "mh zi2" (I think this is the right tone for zi. It has a flat sound then rises) - what does this phrase mean "mh zi2" doesn't it mean like "not only"...or like "no, it can't be..." because the person then replied saying something about 8 books. I know "mh zi2" does not mean "I don't know"...
So if someone says "mh zi2" does it mean like "not only, but more."?
"mh zi2" meaning?

Re: "mh zi2" meaning?
It means 'not limited to', so you're essentially right.
