    I assume you mean quantum or quantic numbers, not "cuantik" because I have no idea what that is.

    l is the quantum number that specifies the angular momentum of the electron, this is what defines the electron's orbit for instance l=0 is an s orbital, l=1 is a p, l=2 is a d and so on.

    m is the magnetic quantum number, it determines the energy shift of an orbital when an external magnetic field is applied, which are quantized to a number of levels dependent on the angular quantum number, l.

    Is that clearer?

    To be honest with you, quantic is not the right word either, they are called quantum numbers.
