For me, "still" at least in some cases means "even now". {mi ca'o ji'a tadni la lojban} - "I'm still studying lojban". The whole idea just comes into my mind, so I haven't yet thought about "yet" and "already" from this point of view. [co'o mi'e kir. noi finti noda poi se lidne zo noi] -- Cyril Slobin
