Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Both can work, though they do differ.

#

For 'still' (a continuous state), 'toujours' is best.

#

She is still a bad person.
Elle est toujours une mauvaise personne.

#

'Encore' can be ambiguous:

Elle est encore une mauvaise personne.
She is still a bad person.
She is a bad person again.

#

With negation:

  • Encore

Je n'ai pas encore faim.
I'm not hungry yet.

  • Toujours

Je n'ai toujours pas faim.
I'm still not hungry.

#

Note that 'encore' follows 'pas' while 'toujours' precedes it.
