How to say “still” in Chinese
“Still” in Chinese is 还 (hái).
What has not ended stays present, can go further, or returns to where it belongs.
Example sentences with 还
我们还没吃饭。wǒ men hái méi chī fàn
We still haven't eaten.
Tips for using 还
- The return sense is pronounced huán, while the continuation and addition senses are pronounced hái, so context and sound both help separate the readings.
