guys can someone tell me what the difference and meaning is between postgraduate and undergraduate?

Hi, I am always confused by these two terms, and would like to know what their meaning is in the simplest words, ive already checked google and I didn't get a thing as to what they were saying, so I want someone to explain it to me in their own words.

Thanks

Undergraduate is basically someone who hasn't completed their first university degree yet, while postgraduate is someone who has.

yes, you'll study for undergraduate then... you do undergraduate to get a beachlors degree... then you study postgraduate studies to earn a masters degree...

Undergraduate courses are for someone who graduated from high school, but postgraduate studies is for someone who has completed their bachelors e.g. masters and phD are considered postgraduate studies
