Just looking like an easy lesson: 유일하다/유일하게 means
유일 하다 (Only)
First and foremost, the word "유일 하다" is an adjective meaning "one and only". Whereas the particle "~ 만" is added to a noun to indicate that there is only one thing:
1. 너만 = only you
2. 한번만 = only once
유일 하다 can be added to a sentence to mean "one and only". The tricky thing is that 유일 하다 is usually used when there is another descriptive word (usually a verb in the form of ~ 는 것) in the sentence. Look at the following examples:
>> 리사 는 웃는 사람 이에요
(Lisa is a person who is crying)
>> 저는 노래 하는 사람 이에요
(I am a singing person)
We can also add adjectives to this sentence to describe the noun. This adjective is placed after the verb that describes:
>> 저는 노래 하는 행복한 사람 이야
