(-밖에) 형이랑 나밖에 이거 모른다 means "Only hyung and I know this", but why?
I guessed that the meaning would be "Only hyung and I don't know this" since the verb 알다 wasn't used. Can someone please explain this to me...

Noun + 밖에 negative ending : This pattern basically means 'only.' This pattern requires a negative tense after 밖에 such as 없다 or any other negation (안 ~, 못 ~, etc). 밖에 means outside, so saying N밖에 없다 would mean there is nothing besides N, you don't have anything outside of N, or you only have N. For example: '1000원밖에 없어요' means I only have 1000원, I don't anything besides 1000원 and literally means I don't have anything outside of 1000원.
e.g.
한국말을 조금밖에 못해요.
I only speak a little Korean.
어제 두 시간밖에 못잤어요.
I slept only 2 hours last night.

모른다 means ”don’t know” and “A + 밖에” means “except A” so It means that only brother and I know and another one doesn’t know.
