adv.still, nevertheless, yet, as yet.* * *► adverbio1 (a pesar de ello) still2 (tiempo) still, yet3 (para reforzar) even* * *adv.1) still, yet2) even* * *ADV1) [temporal] [en oraciones afirmativas] still; [en oraciones negativas] yet, still-¿has acabado? -todavía no — "have you finished" - "not yet"

2) (=incluso, aun así) evenes todavía más inteligente que su hermano — he's even more intelligent than his brother, he's more intelligent still than his brother
3) * (=encima)TODAVÍA Todavía se traduce principalmente al inglés por still o yet. ► Se traduce por still cuando nos referimos a una situación o acción que comenzó en el pasado y que todavía continúa. Generalmente still se coloca detrás de los verbos auxiliares o modales y delante de los demás verbos: Todavía tienen hambre They are still hungry Todavía toco el piano I still play the piano ¿Puedes verlos todavía? Can you still see them? ► También se puede traducir todavía por still para expresar insatisfacción o sorpresa en oraciones negativas. En este caso, still se coloca detrás del sujeto: Todavía no sé cómo ayudarle I still don't know how to help him Después de veinte años todavía no puede olvidarlo After twenty years she still can't forget him ► Se traduce generalmente por yet en frases negativas e interrogativas cuando nos referimos a una situación o acción que no ha tenido lugar todavía y que esperamos que ocurra. Yet va al final de la frase, aunque a veces puede ponerse delante del verbo principal en frases negativas: El doctor no ha llegado todavía The doctor hasn't arrived yet o hasn't yet arrived ¿Todavía no han llamado? Haven't they phoned yet? En lenguaje formal, se puede traducir todavía por yet en frases afirmativas para expresar que algo no se ha realizado. Para ello utilizamos la estructura to have yet + ((infinitivo)) {con} to: Todavía tienen que comunicarnos los resultados They have yet to tell us the results ► En oraciones comparativas todavía se traduce por even: Su prima es todavía más alta que ella Her cousin is even taller than she is El adverbio aún sigue las mismas pautas que todavía: Aún no sé cómo decírselo I still don't know how to tell him ¿Aún no has hablado con ella? Haven't you talked to her yet? Aún está trabajando para esa compañía de seguros She's still working for that insurance company Este pastel está aún mejor que el de la semana pasada This cake is even better than last week'shas aprobado sin estudiar y todavía te quejas — you passed without doing any work and (yet) you're still complaining
