Chinese Word Description

This Chinese flashcard will tell you the most popular Chinese short phrases with seconds. Here the Chinese word 还没 (hái méi), the largest Chinese characters and word displayed on the top Chinese flashcard above, is the most common expression to say Not Yet in Chinese language.

It's easy to find some clues from the Chinese flashcard, that the short phrase Not Yet in Chinese consists of two Chinese characters: the core character falls on the last character (méi) which is the second most popular Chinese negative form and stands for the main meaning such as have not, not or none in Chinese, while the first character here with one of pronunciations as (hái) works as an adverb to express the meaning of still or yet in Chinese.

There is another similar Chinese word 还没有 (hái méi yǒu) which expresses the same meaning as 还没 but is expanded by one more Chinese character. It's because that 没有 could be shortened as in Chinese without changes in meaning.

Certainly, it is allowed in Chinese to remove the first character from the phrase above to express a similar meaning. For example, say in Chinese.
