What does "도" mean in this sentence ?
Hello everyone, here is the sentence that I would like to understand more precisely.
남주가 한국애 온 지도 벌써 6개월이 됐습니다.
I understand the sentence as a whole and I actually have a translation of it, but I don't understand what "도", after "온 지", adds to the sentence's meaning. In the translation of the sentence that is given, "도" is not translated.
(Here is the translation : "It has been siw months since Nam Joo came to Korea.")
It seems like the sentence would make sense even without this "도" but I suppose that it's here for a reason, so can you explain me what it means in this sentence ?

As Nam stated above, the additive particle "도" used to emphasize the fact she got back to Korea and six months passed. Similarly"는/가" also can be used instead of "도", a bit different in nauance though like "남주가...온지+가..., 남주가...온지+는...."
Without "도" in here, it makes sense but it will be a plain statement.

위의 문장은 의존명사 '지'만 있어도 되지만, 보조사 '도'를 써서 그 기간을 극단적으로 강조하고 있습니다. 이것은 보조사 '도' 의 쓰임중 하나인 '극단적인 강조'입니다.
땨라서, '지도'는 6개월 이라는 기간을 강조합니다. '벌써' 라는 부사까지 더해졌으므로 엄청난 강조문장입니다.
