zhège jīhuì hái cúnzài.

The structure is:

这个机会 + 还 + 存在
this opportunity + still + exist

So the whole sentence means that a particular opportunity is still there.

You can think of it as:

• 这个机会 = the subject or topic
• 还 = an adverb meaning still
• 存在 = the predicate verb, meaning to exist

This is a very normal Chinese word order: subject/topic + adverb + verb.

Yes. In 这个机会, 个 is the measure word.

Chinese usually needs a measure word between a demonstrative and a noun:

• 这 = this
• 个 = measure word
• 机会 = opportunity

So:

• 这个机会 = this opportunity

A very common learner mistake is trying to say 这机会. That can appear in some colloquial styles, but for standard Mandarin, 这个机会 is the normal form.

Also, 个 is a very common measure word, and 机会 is often counted with 个, so this combination is natural.

Here 还 means still.

So:

• 这个机会还存在 = This opportunity still exists

This 还 does not mean also here.

That is important because 还 can have more than one meaning depending on context:

• 还 = still
• 还 = also / in addition
• 还 pronounced huán = to return / give back

In this sentence, because it describes a situation continuing, the meaning is clearly still, and the pronunciation is hái.

Because in Chinese, adverbs usually come before the verb or predicate they modify.

So:

• 还存在 = still exists

This is the normal pattern:

• 他还在。 = He is still here.
• 问题还存在。 = The problem still exists.
• 这个机会还存在。 = This opportunity still exists.

If you put 还 somewhere else, it will usually sound wrong or very unnatural.

存在 means to exist or to be present.

It is often used for things that are somewhat abstract, objective, or formal, such as:

• 问题存在 = a problem exists
• 风险存在 = a risk exists
• 机会存在 = an opportunity exists

So in this sentence, 存在 means that the opportunity has not disappeared yet.

Compared with some other Chinese verbs, 存在 sounds a bit more formal and abstract. It is very common in writing, formal speech, business, and serious discussion.

Yes, and in everyday spoken Chinese, 这个机会还在 is often more natural.

The difference is mainly one of style and tone:

• 这个机会还存在 = more formal, abstract, objective
• 这个机会还在 = more conversational, direct, everyday

Both can mean This opportunity is still there.

If you are speaking casually, many native speakers would probably choose 还在 more often than 还存在.

Because 存在 is already a full verb.

Chinese uses 是 mainly for identification or classification, such as:

• 他是老师。 = He is a teacher.

But here, the sentence is not saying This opportunity is X. It is saying This opportunity still exists.

So the verb is 存在, not 是.

A sentence like 这个机会还是存在 is different. There, 还是 means still as a combined adverb in some contexts, but you are not using 是 as a copula in the English sense.

It is pronounced zhège.

A few helpful points:

• 这 = zhè
• 个 here is usually light and neutral, so ge
• Together: zhège

So it sounds like:

• zhè-ge

Learners sometimes pronounce 个 too strongly, but in normal speech it is often lighter here.

Here 还 is pronounced hái.

That is because it means still.

This matters because 还 has another common pronunciation:

• hái = still, also
• huán = return, give back

So in this sentence:

• 这个机会还存在
• 还 = hái

If you said huán here, it would be wrong.

They are similar, but not identical.

这个机会还存在

• focuses on one specific opportunity
• means that this particular opportunity has not disappeared

还有机会

• usually means there is still a chance
• is more general
• often focuses on possibility rather than the continued existence of one identified opportunity

Compare:

• 这个机会还存在。 = This specific opportunity still exists.
• 还有机会。 = There is still a chance.

So if you are talking about one known opportunity, 这个机会还存在 is more specific.

Yes, it sounds somewhat formal or written because of 存在.

A native speaker might say it in formal discussion, business, analysis, or writing. In casual speech, people may be more likely to say:

• 这个机会还在。
• 我们还有这个机会。
• 现在还有机会。

So 这个机会还存在 is correct and natural, but it has a slightly more formal and abstract tone than some everyday alternatives.
