Questions & Answers about taichou ga mada modotte inai node, kyou wa ie de yasumimasu.

What does 体調 mean here?

体調 means physical condition, health condition, or how your body is feeling.

In this sentence, it refers to the speaker’s physical state overall, not just one symptom. It is a very common word when talking about feeling sick, recovering, or not being at 100%.

For example:

• 体調が悪い = my physical condition is bad / I’m not feeling well
• 体調が戻る = my condition returns / I recover

Why is the particle が used after 体調?

が marks 体調 as the thing being described by the predicate まだ戻っていない.

So the structure is basically:

• 体調が = as for my physical condition / my physical condition
• まだ戻っていない = has not returned yet

Japanese often uses が with verbs or expressions that describe a state or change, especially when focusing on what is in that state.

Here, 体調が戻る is a natural set phrase meaning one’s condition returns / one recovers.

What does まだ mean with a negative verb?
