Still, yet, nor in German 🇩🇪

noch info.

Tips to remember the German word ‘noch’:
– Think of the English phrase “kNOw CHange” – you’re still in the same situation, nothing has changed, hence you are “noch” in the same situation.
– Associate it with “not yet” as “n-och” sounds a bit like “not”, and it can often mean “not yet” in German.

Explanations of ‘noch’:
– ‘Noch’ is an adverb that has a variety of uses in German, often indicating continuity or something that is ongoing.
– It can imply that something is still happening or that there’s an expectation of something more to come.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– ‘Immer noch’ means “still” as in “even now” or “up to this point.” When you want to stress that something has been going on for a long time and is still going on, you use ‘immer noch’.
– ‘Bis jetzt’ can mean “up to now” or “so far” which is similar to ‘noch’ when indicating something continuous.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– In colloquial usage, ‘noch’ can be used to signify “even more” or express a degree of disbelief, such as “Das ist noch besser!” (That’s even better!) or to enhance a superlative: “Das ist noch das Beste!” (That’s the best yet!).

Examples of sentences that use ‘noch’:
– “Ich bin noch hier.” (I am still here.)
– “Hast du noch Zeit?” (Do you still have time?)
– “Noch nicht.” (Not yet.)
– “Es gibt noch mehr zu tun.” (There is more to do still.)
– “Kommst du noch mit?” (Are you still coming along?)
– “Noch ein Bier, bitte.” (Another beer, please.)
