Yet in Korean 🇰🇷

아직 info.

Tips for Remembering the Word:
• Think of “아직” (ah-jik) as sounding like “a quick” which can remind you that something is still pending or "not done" yet.
• Associate “아직” with the idea of an action that remains incomplete; when you hear “아직,” think “not yet complete.”

Explanations:
• “아직” means “yet” or “still” and is used as an adverb to indicate that something has not happened up to the present moment.
• It can suggest that while an event hasn’t occurred or a state hasn’t changed, there’s an implication it might occur in the future.
• In sentences, “아직” typically appears before a negative verb construction to convey that something has not been done or started.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• “여전히” (yeo-jeon-hi) – translates to “still” or “as before,” used when something remains unchanged.
• “지금도” (ji-geum-do) – means “even now,” emphasizing that a state persists.
• Note that while these words are similar, “아직” is most directly used for something pending rather than something persistently constant.

Alternate Meanings/Slang:
• “아직” is used in standard speech and writing, and it does not have widely recognized slang meanings.
• In casual conversation, combining it with “도” to form “아직도” (ah-jik-do) is common and simply emphasizes the idea of “still.”
