just



Dear native teachers

Could you please let me know what 'just' and the other two highlighted phrases mean according to the context? (How's freedog suting him?, Ideas above his station)
  

Top answer

just = not involving anything more than the thing that you are mentioning how's freedom suiting him? = does he find freedom convenient or suitable? ideas above his station = ideas that are considered (by some/most people) inappropriate, given his position in society
