Questions & Answers about Ich habe noch keine Antwort.
In this sentence, noch means “yet” in the sense of “up to now, but that may change in the future.”
- Ich habe noch keine Antwort.
→ You’re saying: Up to this moment, I don’t have an answer (but I expect or hope one will come later).
Literally, noch often means “still”, but in negative sentences like this, noch is usually translated as “yet”:
- Ich habe noch keine Antwort. → “I don’t have an answer yet.”
- Ich habe noch nicht gegessen. → “I haven’t eaten yet.”
So here, noch adds the idea of “so far / up to now”, not just a plain negation.
