The word "ancak" can be used in Turkish, when it is used as "just" in English.

for example:

i have just finished the homework which you gave me last week.
Geçen hafta vermiş olduğun ödevleri ancak bitirdim.

and same thing for "on the other hand"

for example:

we have really planned to go this party tonight on the other hand all of us had something to do other.

bu akşamki partiye gitmeyi planlamıştık ancak hepimizin yapacak başka bir işi vardı.

Examples:

2- Kaç kişinin geleceği önemli değil, ancak 2 tanesi işe alınacak (It is not important how many people will come, at most 2 of them will be employed)

3- Film ancak 2 saatte bitmişti (The film did not fisished earlier than 2 hours)

4- Çok çalışmıştı ancak başaramadı (He worked a lot, but he failed)

"sağ ol" is for singular usage. if you want to thank only one person, you can use it. If more than one: "sağ olun"

Why do you write them separate? They have become a united word.
