仍然 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 仍然 (réngrán) is an adverb meaning 'still' or 'as before'.
- It emphasizes that a situation or action continues without change.
- Place it before the verb or adjective it modifies.
- Avoid confusing it with 还 (hái) or overusing it.
- Core Meaning
- The Chinese adverb 仍然 (réngrán) translates to 'still,' 'yet,' or 'as before' in English. It indicates that a situation, state, or action continues to exist or happen without change, often despite expectations or the passage of time.
- Usage Contexts
- You'll frequently encounter 仍然 when describing something that has persisted. This could be a physical object remaining in a certain state, an emotion that hasn't faded, a habit that continues, or a plan that is still in effect. It's a versatile word that adds nuance to sentences by emphasizing continuity.
他 仍然 在 学习汉语，尽管已经学了很多年。 (Tā réngrán zài xuéxí Hànyǔ, jǐnguǎn yǐjīng xuéle hěnduō nián.)
- Emphasis on Unchanged State
- The core function of 仍然 is to highlight that something has not changed. Imagine a friend who promised to visit; if they arrive as expected, you might say, '你 仍然 来了！' (Nǐ réngrán láile! - You still came!). This implies a sense of continuation or fulfillment of an expectation. Alternatively, if something is expected to have changed but hasn't, 仍然 also fits. For instance, if a shop was supposed to close for renovations but is still open, you could observe, '这家店 仍然 开着。' (Zhè jiā diàn réngrán kāizhe. - This shop is still open.)
尽管天气很冷，他 仍然 穿着短袖。 (Jǐnguǎn tiānqì hěn lěng, tā réngrán chuānzhe duǎnxiù.)
- Common Scenarios
- You might use 仍然 when:
- Describing a persistent habit: '他 仍然 每天早上五点起床。' (Tā réngrán měitiān zǎoshang wǔ diǎn qǐchuáng. - He still gets up at 5 AM every morning.)
- Indicating a state that hasn't changed: '这个城市 仍然 很 美丽。' (Zhège chéngshì réngrán hěn měilì. - This city is still very beautiful.)
- Expressing that an action continues: '他们 仍然 在等待 消息。' (Tāmen réngrán zài děngdài xiāoxi. - They are still waiting for news.)
- Adverb Placement
- In Chinese grammar, adverbs like 仍然 typically precede the verb or adjective they modify. This placement is crucial for conveying the intended meaning of continuity or persistence. The basic structure is Subject + 仍然 + Verb/Adjective Phrase.
我 仍然 爱 你。 (Wǒ réngrán ài nǐ.)
- Modifying Verbs
- When 仍然 modifies a verb, it indicates that the action of the verb continues. For example, '他 仍然 在这里工作。' (Tā réngrán zài zhèlǐ gōngzuò. - He still works here.) The adverb clarifies that his employment at this location has not ceased.
- Modifying Adjectives
- When 仍然 modifies an adjective, it signifies that the state described by the adjective persists. Consider '这个问题 仍然 很复杂。' (Zhège wèntí réngrán hěn fùzá. - This problem is still very complex.) The complexity has not diminished.
尽管下雨了，他们 仍然 在外面玩。 (Jǐnguǎn xià yǔle, tāmen réngrán zài wàimiàn wán.)
- In Complex Sentences
- In sentences with conjunctions or subordinate clauses, 仍然 maintains its position before the verb or adjective in the main clause. For instance, '虽然我 很忙，但我 仍然 会来。' (Suīrán wǒ hěn máng, dàn wǒ réngrán huì lái. - Although I am very busy, I will still come.) Here, 仍然 modifies '会来' (will come), emphasizing the continuation of the plan to come despite being busy.
我们 仍然 是好朋友。 (Wǒmen réngrán shì hǎo péngyǒu.)
- Handling Negation
- To negate a statement with 仍然, you generally do not directly negate 仍然 itself. Instead, you might use a different structure or context to imply the opposite. For example, if something is no longer true, you would use words like '不再' (bù zài - no longer) or describe the change. However, in some contexts, placing '不' (bù) before the verb might imply a lack of continuation, but it's less common and can be ambiguous. The most straightforward way to express the opposite of 'still' is to state that something has changed or stopped.
- Everyday Conversations
- You'll hear 仍然 frequently in casual conversations. When friends catch up, they might ask, '你 最近怎么样？' (Nǐ zuìjìn zěnmeyàng? - How have you been recently?). A common reply might be, '我 仍然 和以前一样。' (Wǒ réngrán hé yǐqián yīyàng. - I'm still the same as before.) This emphasizes that despite the time passed, their situation hasn't changed significantly.
这家餐厅 仍然 很受欢迎。 (Zhè jiā cāntīng réngrán hěn shòu huānyíng.)
- News and Media
- In news reports or documentaries, 仍然 is used to describe ongoing situations or persistent issues. For example, a report on environmental protection might state, '污染问题 仍然 存在。' (Wūrǎn wèntí réngrán cúnzài. - The pollution problem still exists.) This highlights the continued presence of the problem despite efforts to solve it.
- Literature and Formal Writing
- In more formal contexts, such as literature or academic writing, 仍然 is used to convey a sense of enduring quality or a state that persists through time. A historical text might describe a tradition that ' 仍然 被保留。' (réngrán bèi bǎoliú. - is still preserved.) This adds a literary or historical depth to the statement.
尽管经历了那么多困难，他们的友谊 仍然 很坚固。 (Jǐnguǎn jīnglìle nàme duō kùnnán, tāmen de yǒuyì réngrán hěn jiāngù.)
- Contrast with Expectations
- Often, 仍然 is used when the continuation of a state or action is somewhat surprising or contrary to what might be expected. If someone looks unwell but claims they are fine, they might say, '我 仍然 感觉还好。' (Wǒ réngrán gǎnjué hái hǎo. - I still feel okay.) This implies that despite outward appearances, the internal state hasn't changed as one might assume.
- Confusing with '还' (hái)
- One common mistake is confusing 仍然 with 还 (hái). While both can sometimes translate to 'still' or 'yet,' they have different nuances. 还 is broader and can also mean 'also,' 'in addition,' or 'still' in the sense of 'more' or 'yet to come.' 仍然 specifically emphasizes continuity and persistence of a state or action without change. For example, '我还有时间' (Wǒ hái yǒu shíjiān - I still have time) is correct. But saying '我仍然有时间' might sound slightly more emphatic about the ongoing availability of time, perhaps in contrast to a previous scarcity.
Incorrect: 我还仍然去。 (Wǒ hái réngrán qù.)
- Overuse
- While 仍然 is useful, overusing it can make sentences sound repetitive or unnaturally formal. In many everyday situations where 'still' is used in English, a simpler construction might suffice in Chinese, or another adverb like '还' might be more appropriate. For instance, if you're asking if someone has eaten, '你吃了吗？' (Nǐ chīle ma? - Have you eaten?) is common. If they haven't, they might say '还没' (hái méi - not yet). Using '我仍然没吃' (Wǒ réngrán méi chī - I still haven't eaten) is grammatically correct but might sound a bit stiff.
Incorrect: 他仍然很高。 (Tā réngrán hěn gāo.)
- Incorrect Negation
- As mentioned, directly negating 仍然 is uncommon. Learners might try to form phrases like '不仍然' (bù réngrán), which is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical. To express that something is no longer the case, use phrases like '不再' (bù zài - no longer) or describe the change. For example, instead of '他不仍然是学生' (Tā bù réngrán shì xuésheng - He is no longer a student), you would say '他不再是学生' (Tā bù zài shì xuésheng - He is no longer a student) or '他已经毕业了' (Tā yǐjīng bìyè le - He has already graduated).
Incorrect: 这个 仍然 不 好。 (Zhè ge réngrán bù hǎo.)
- 还 (hái)
-
Meaning: 'Still,' 'yet,' 'also,' 'in addition.'还 is a very versatile word. When used to mean 'still,' it often implies 'yet to come' or 'more to come,' or a continuation that might be slightly different from the expectation.
Comparison: 仍然 emphasizes a state or action continuing *without change*. 还 can imply continuation, but also suggests something is 'still pending' or 'more exists.'
Example:
- 仍然: '他仍然在睡觉。' (Tā réngrán zài shuìjiào. - He is still sleeping.) - Implies he has been sleeping and continues to do so.
- 还: '我还没吃饭。' (Wǒ hái méi chīfàn. - I still haven't eaten.) - Implies that eating is pending.
仍然 emphasizes continuity of state: '天空仍然是蓝色的。' (Tiānkōng réngrán shì lánsè de. - The sky is still blue.)
还 can imply something pending: '我的作业还没做完。' (Wǒ de zuòyè hái méi zuò wán. - My homework is still not finished.)
- 还是 (háishi)
-
Meaning: 'Still,' 'yet,' 'or' (in questions). When used as 'still' or 'yet,' 还是 often carries a stronger sense of persistence, sometimes despite difficulties or changes, or it can be used in negative statements where '仍然' might sound odd.
Comparison: 还是 can sometimes be used in negative contexts where 仍然 would not fit well. It can also imply a choice or a preference that remains unchanged.
Example:
- 仍然: '他仍然很乐观。' (Tā réngrán hěn lèguān. - He is still very optimistic.)
- 还是: '天气还是那么冷。' (Tiānqì háishi nàme lěng. - The weather is still that cold.) - This can imply that despite expectations or time passing, the cold persists. It can also be used in negative contexts: '他还是没来。' (Tā háishi méi lái. - He still hasn't come.)
- 继续 (jìxù)
-
Meaning: 'To continue,' 'to go on.' 继续 is a verb, not an adverb like 仍然.
Comparison: 仍然 describes a state that *continues*. 继续 is an action that *continues*. You cannot use 继续 where 仍然 is appropriate, and vice versa.
Example:
- 仍然: '他仍然是我的朋友。' (Tā réngrán shì wǒ de péngyǒu. - He is still my friend.) - Describes a continuing state.
- 继续: '请继续说。' (Qǐng jìxù shuō. - Please continue speaking.) - Describes a continuing action.
'He still lives there.' - Use 仍然: '他仍然住在那儿。' (Tā réngrán zhù zài nàr.)
'He still hasn't arrived.' - Use 还 or 还是: '他还/还是没到。' (Tā hái/háishi méi dào.)

نکته جالب
The character '然' (rán) is often used in classical Chinese as a particle to indicate the state or manner of something, and appears in many adverbs. Its presence in 仍然 reinforces the idea of a continuing state or manner. The character '仍' (réng) has evolved to specifically emphasize this temporal continuity.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing 'r' too strongly.
- Not distinguishing the 'n' sound clearly at the end.
- Misplacing stress on the first syllable.

اغلب اشتباه گرفته میشود با
While both can mean 'still', '还' often implies 'yet to come' or 'more', whereas '仍然' emphasizes unchanging continuation. For example, '我还没吃饭' (I still haven't eaten) vs. '他仍然在睡觉' (He is still sleeping).
'还是' can mean 'still' (often in negative contexts or implying persistence) but also 'or' in questions. '仍然' is strictly about unchanged continuation. '我还是没去' (I still didn't go) is common, while '我仍然没去' sounds a bit less natural in this negative context.
'继续' is a verb meaning 'to continue' (an action), while '仍然' is an adverb meaning 'still' (describing a state or action that continues). You cannot substitute one for the other. '请继续说' (Please continue speaking) is correct, but '请仍然说' is not.

Both can translate to 'still' or 'yet' in English, leading to confusion about when to use which.
'仍然' emphasizes that a state or action continues without change, like 'as before.' '还' is broader; it can mean 'still' in the sense of 'yet to come' or 'more to come,' or 'also.' For instance, '我<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>还</mark>要一个' (I want one more) uses '还' for 'more,' not continuity. '我<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>爱他' (I still love him) focuses on the unchanging nature of the love.
我<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>还</mark>没吃晚饭。(I still haven't eaten dinner - implies it's pending). / 他<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>在那里工作。(He still works there - implies continuity of employment).
'还是' can also mean 'still' or 'yet,' especially in negative contexts, and shares the idea of persistence.
'仍然' typically describes a positive or neutral continuation of a state or action. '还是' is often more natural in negative statements indicating something hasn't changed as expected, or when emphasizing persistence despite difficulty. It also means 'or' in questions. '他<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>还是</mark>没来' (He still hasn't come) is very common. '他<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>没来' is grammatically correct but slightly less idiomatic for this specific negative nuance.
这<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>还是</mark>老样子。(This is still the same old.) / 天气<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>寒冷。(The weather is still cold.)
Both relate to continuation, but '仍然' is an adverb describing a state or action that persists, while '继续' is a verb meaning 'to continue' an action.
'仍然' answers 'Is it still happening/true?' It describes the state of persistence. '继续' answers 'What should happen next?' or 'What action is ongoing?' You can't say '我<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>说' (I still say) if you mean 'Please continue speaking'; you must say '请<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>继续</mark>说' (Please continue speaking).
请<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>继续</mark>工作。(Please continue working.) / 他<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>在工作。(He is still working.)
These are formal synonyms for '仍然', sharing the same core meaning of 'still' or 'as before'.
'仍然' is the most common and versatile adverb. '依旧' and '依然' are more formal and literary, often used in written contexts or when a slightly more elegant tone is desired. They convey the same sense of unchanging continuity.
她<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>很年轻。(She is still very young.) / 她<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>依旧</mark>很年轻。(She is still very young - more literary.)
It expresses the opposite of continuation, making it an antonym rather than a synonym, but learners might incorrectly try to negate '仍然' directly.
'仍然' means 'still' (continuing). '不再' means 'no longer' (stopped). They are direct opposites. You cannot use '仍然' to mean 'no longer.' To express that something has stopped, you must use '不再' or similar phrases.
我<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>是学生。(I am still a student.) / 我<mark class='bg-yellow-200 dark:bg-yellow-800 px-0.5 rounded'>不再</mark>是学生了。(I am no longer a student.)

For example, '我<mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>还</mark>没吃饭' (I still haven't eaten - pending) is correct. '我<mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>没吃饭' is less common for this meaning.
-
Incorrect placement of 仍然.
→
Place 仍然 before the verb or adjective it modifies.
The standard position for 仍然 is before the main verb or adjective. Placing it after can sound unnatural or be grammatically incorrect. For instance, '他<mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>仍然</mark>很忙' (He is still very busy) is correct, while '*他很忙仍然*' is not.
-
Overusing 仍然 when simpler words suffice.
→
Use simpler phrasing or '还'/'还是' when appropriate.
While 仍然 is correct, sometimes '还' or even just the context implies 'still.' Overusing 仍然 can make sentences sound repetitive or stiff. For example, '你<mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>还</mark>没来？' (You still haven't come?) is more common than '*你仍然没来？*'.
-
Confusing 仍然 with 继续 (jìxù).
→
Use 仍然 for adverbial 'still' (state/action continues) and 继续 for verb 'to continue' (action).
'仍然' describes a state or action that persists. '继续' is a verb meaning 'to continue an action.' They are not interchangeable. '请<mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>继续</mark>说' (Please continue speaking) is correct, but '*请仍然说*' is wrong.
نکات
Focus on Unchanged Continuity
Remember that 仍然 is primarily used to emphasize that a situation, state, or action continues exactly as it was before. Think of it as highlighting persistence and an absence of change. For example, '他仍然住在这里' means he lives here now, just like he did before.
Correct Placement is Key
Always place 仍然 before the verb or adjective it modifies. Incorrect placement can change the meaning or make the sentence ungrammatical. For instance, '我仍然爱她' is correct, but '我爱她仍然' is not standard.
Distinguish from Similar Words
Be mindful of the differences between 仍然, 还, and 还是. While they can all relate to 'still,' 仍然 specifically denotes unchanging continuity. Use '还' for 'yet to come' or 'more,' and '还是' for persistence despite difficulty or in negative contexts.
Use it in Context
The best way to master 仍然 is to use it. Try describing things that haven't changed in your life, your city, or your habits. Practice forming sentences like '我的计划仍然不变' (My plan is still unchanged) or '他仍然是我的朋友' (He is still my friend).
Practice the 'rán' Sound
Pay attention to the pronunciation of the second syllable, 'rán.' The 'r' sound is softer than in English, and the 'an' is a nasal sound. Practicing this will make your usage of 仍然 sound more natural.
Consider the Implication
Sometimes, using 仍然 can subtly imply that the continuation is perhaps unexpected or noteworthy, especially if the context suggests a reason for change. For example, '尽管下雨了，他仍然出去玩' (Even though it rained, he still went out to play) highlights the persistence against the weather.
Learn Related Terms
Expand your vocabulary by learning synonyms like '依旧' (yījiù) and '依然' (yīrán) for more formal contexts, and antonyms like '不再' (bù zài - no longer) to understand the opposite meaning.
Ongoing Actions with '在'
To emphasize an action that is *still in progress*, use the pattern 仍然 + 在 + Verb. For example, '他们仍然在开会' (They are still in the meeting / still meeting).
Cultural Value of Persistence
In Chinese culture, persistence is often valued. Using 仍然 can subtly align with this by describing enduring qualities, relationships, or efforts, framing them positively.
Avoid Direct Negation
Never try to negate 仍然 directly with '不.' If you mean something is no longer true, use '不再' or other negation structures. '他不再是学生了' is correct for 'He is no longer a student.'

ریشه کلمه
The word 仍然 is composed of two characters: '仍' (réng) and '然' (rán). Both characters, in their classical usage, carry connotations of continuation, persistence, or being as something was before. '仍' itself can mean 'still' or 'to continue,' while '然' often functions as a suffix or particle indicating a state or manner, similar to '-ly' in English or 'as it is.' Together, they form a compound adverb that strongly signifies an unchanged state persisting over time.
معنای اصلی: The combination originally meant 'still as it was' or 'continuing to be in the previous state.'
Sino-Tibetanبافت فرهنگی
The word 仍然 itself is neutral and does not carry any inherent sensitivity. Its usage depends entirely on the context. It can be used to describe positive continuations (e.g., enduring love) or negative ones (e.g., persistent problems).
In English, 'still' is often used to convey a similar sense of continuity. For example, 'He is still here' maps directly to '他仍然在这里.' The nuance of 'as before' is also captured by 'still.'

10 سوالThe main difference lies in nuance. 仍然 emphasizes that a state or action continues *without change*, like 'as before.' For example, '他仍然爱她' (He still loves her) implies the love hasn't changed. 还 can also mean 'still' but often implies 'yet to come' or 'more to come,' or a continuation that might be different. For instance, '我还没吃饭' (I still haven't eaten) means it's pending. '我还要一个' (I want one more) uses '还' for 'more.'
Directly negating 仍然 is incorrect. You cannot say '不仍然.' If you want to express that something is no longer true, you should use phrases like '不再' (bù zài - no longer) or '已经不' (yǐjīng bù - already not). For example, instead of '我不仍然喜欢他,' you would say '我不再喜欢他' (I no longer like him).
As an adverb, 仍然 is typically placed before the verb or adjective it modifies. The common structure is Subject + 仍然 + Verb/Adjective. For example, '她仍然很开心' (She is still very happy).
仍然 is a neutral adverb that can be used in both formal and informal contexts. While more formal alternatives like '依旧' (yījiù) or '依然' (yīrán) exist, 仍然 is widely understood and used by native speakers in everyday conversations, news, and writing.
When translating 'still' from English to Chinese, 仍然 is often a good choice if the English 'still' implies that a situation, state, or action continues to exist or happen *without change*, just as it was before. For example, 'The weather is still cold' translates well to '天气仍然很冷.'
Yes, 仍然 can be used with time words to emphasize continuity. For example, '我仍然每天早上五点起床' (I still get up at 5 AM every morning). It reinforces that the action continues despite the passage of time or any potential changes.
They are different parts of speech and have different meanings. 仍然 is an adverb meaning 'still' (describing a persistent state or action). 继续 is a verb meaning 'to continue' (an action). You would say '我仍然在学习' (I am still studying) but '请继续学习' (Please continue studying).
For 'still' meaning 'yet to come' or 'not yet,' it's usually better to use '还' (hái) or '还没' (hái méi). For example, '我还没收到你的邮件' (I still haven't received your email). 仍然 is for things that are continuing as they were.
Yes, common phrases include '仍然是' (réngrán shì - still is), '仍然在' (réngrán zài - still in the process of), and '仍然很' (réngrán hěn - still very). These patterns are very useful for constructing sentences.
No, 仍然 specifically implies that something has *not* changed. If something has changed, you would use words like '变化' (biànhuà - change) or '不同' (bùtóng - different).
