[aristide]

Hi everybody. Please tell me the difference between " yet" and "still".
After that,please tell me if the following sentences are both right and if they express the same meaning.

1- He has not still come.
2- He has not yet come.

Thanks.

Well, I'd say:
1. He still hasn't come.
2. He hasn't come yet.
And their meanings slightly differ.

Maybe this ain't the best way to describe it... however:
Use "not yet" if you've been waiting for some time, and "still not" if you've been waiting for an even longer period of time.

Considering your location, I guess you speak French. I'd say "not yet" would be the right translation for "pas encore", whereas I don't know how to translate "still not" into French properly.
