Learn Farsi: خواب من هنوز طبیعی نیست.

The word هنوز means "still" when paired with a positive verb. However, when it is used with a negative verb like نیست (is not) in this sentence, it acts as an adverb of expectation and translates to "yet" or "not yet".

Where should I place هنوز in a sentence like this?

Adverbs of time like هنوز typically go after the subject and before the adjective or object. Here, it sits right between the subject خواب من (my sleep) and the adjective طبیعی (natural).

There is no separate word for "my" here, so how does خواب من mean "my sleep"?

This uses the ezâfe, a grammar rule you've seen in earlier lessons. By adding an unseen "-e" sound to the end of خواب (sleep) and attaching it to من (I/me), it creates a possessive phrase that literally means "sleep of me".

Can طبیعی be translated as "normal" instead of "natural"?

Yes! While طبیعی literally relates to nature, Farsi speakers frequently use it to mean "normal" or "regular" when talking about daily habits, health, and physical routines.
