Question 1

仍

Answer 1

Translation: “still” or “yet”

Explanation:
仍 (réng) is an adverb that indicates a continuous state or action - something that was true before and continues to be true now. It emphasizes that a situation remains unchanged despite the passage of time or despite expectations that it might change.

Examples:

1. 他仍在睡觉。 (Tā réng zài shuìjiào.)
   - “He is still sleeping.”
2. 这个问题仍然很难解决。 (Zhège wèntí réngrán hěn nán jiějué.)
   - “This problem is still very difficult to solve.”
   - Note: 仍然 (réngrán) is a common compound meaning “still/nevertheless”
3. 雨停了，但地上仍很湿。 (Yǔ tíng le, dàn dìshang réng hěn shī.)
   - “The rain stopped, but the ground is still wet.”
4. 她八十岁了，仍很健康。 (Tā bāshí suì le, réng hěn jiànkāng.)
   - “She’s eighty years old and still very healthy.”

The character 仍 often appears in formal or written Chinese, while in spoken language you might more commonly hear 还是 (háishi) or 还 (hái) for “still.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
