还 (hái) — still, yet (indicating continuation or that something hasn't happened); also, in addition, another
Definition
还 (hái) has two main uses: 'still' for an ongoing state or something not yet done, and 'also / another' when adding more. As 'also' it differs from 再 (zài), which is about future repetition, not adding a new item.
