Sentence info.

The sentence “Aún no estoy listo” is a Spanish phrase that can be translated to “I am still not ready” in English. Here’s a breakdown of the sentence:

– “Aún”: means “still” or “yet.” It indicates that something is continuing until now.
– “No”: is the negation, it turns the sentence into a negative one, meaning “not.”
– “Estoy”: is the first person singular of the verb “estar” in the present indicative, meaning “I am.”
– “Listo”: translates to “ready.”

To remember this sentence, focus on the components: “aún” (still) suggests continuity, “no” (not) indicates negation, and “estoy listo” would mean “I am ready,” so adding “no” simply negates the readiness.

Alternate ways to say the same thing include:

– Todavía no estoy preparado. (using “todavía” instead of “aún”, and “preparado” can be used interchangeably with “listo”)
– No estoy listo todavía. (this reverses the order of “todavía” and “no”, but retains the same meaning)
– Aún no me he preparado. (“me he preparado” is a different verb tense, but conveys a similar meaning)
– Sigo sin estar listo. (“sigo” implies continuing action, and “sin” means “without,” so it literally means “I continue without being ready”)
