Todavía no sabemos el desenlace del asunto.

Todavía means still or yet, depending on the context.

In Todavía no sabemos..., it gives the idea of:

• We still don’t know...
• We don’t know ... yet

With a negative sentence, English can often use either still or yet, but Spanish commonly uses todavía to express that the situation continues up to now.

Compare:

• No sabemos el desenlace. = We don’t know the outcome.
• Todavía no sabemos el desenlace. = We still don’t know the outcome / We don’t know the outcome yet.

So todavía adds the sense of up to this point.

In Spanish, standard negation usually goes before the verb.

So:

• No sabemos = We do not know

This is different from English, where we use do not know. Spanish does not need an extra helping verb like do.

Pattern:

• sé = I know
• no sé = I don’t know
• sabemos = we know
• no sabemos = we don’t know

So Todavía no sabemos... is the normal and correct word order.

Spanish usually distinguishes between saber and conocer:

• saber = to know a fact, information, how to do something
• conocer = to know a person, place, or to be familiar with something

Here, el desenlace del asunto is a piece of information, so Spanish uses saber:

• Sabemos el desenlace = We know the outcome

You would use conocer for things like:

• Conozco a Marta = I know Marta
• Conocemos Madrid = We know Madrid

So sabemos is the natural choice because this is about knowing information, not being acquainted with something.

Desenlace means outcome, ending, resolution, or final result, depending on context.

It is often used for:

• the ending of a story
• the resolution of a conflict
• the outcome of a complicated situation

In el desenlace del asunto, it suggests how the matter will end or what the final result will be.

It has a slightly more formal or literary feel than some other words. In everyday speech, people might also say:

• el final
• el resultado
• cómo acaba

But desenlace is completely natural and correct.

Spanish often uses the definite article el / la / los / las where English might use the, but sometimes also where English might omit it.

Here, el desenlace refers to a specific outcome: the outcome of this matter.

So:

• el desenlace del asunto = the outcome of the matter

Without el, the phrase would sound incomplete or unnatural in this sentence.

The article helps identify the noun as a specific thing being talked about.

Del is a contraction of de + el.

So:

• de el asunto becomes del asunto

This contraction is mandatory in normal Spanish whenever de is followed by el:

• el desenlace del asunto = the outcome of the matter
• literally: the outcome of the matter/affair

A useful rule:

• de + el = del
• a + el = al

But this only happens with the article el, not with él meaning he.

Asunto means something like matter, issue, affair, or business, depending on context.

It is fairly broad and often a bit more neutral than problema.

So:

• asunto = a matter/issue being discussed
• problema = a problem
• caso = a case
• tema = a topic/subject

In this sentence, asunto suggests the matter in question or the whole situation. It does not necessarily mean there is a problem, although there often is some complication if people are waiting for the desenlace.

Sabemos is the present indicative of saber for nosotros.

• yo sé = I know
• tú sabes = you know
• él/ella sabe = he/she knows
• nosotros sabemos = we know

In Todavía no sabemos..., the present tense means that right now, up to the present moment, the speakers do not know the outcome.

It describes a current state of not knowing, not a past event.

Yes, that is also correct.

Both are natural:

• Todavía no sabemos el desenlace del asunto.
• No sabemos todavía el desenlace del asunto.

The meaning is basically the same.

A small nuance:

• Todavía no sabemos... often sounds a bit more natural and common when emphasizing still not
• No sabemos todavía... may place a little more focus on the timing element yet/still

In everyday use, both work well.

Yes. In this sentence, todavía and aún are interchangeable:

• Todavía no sabemos el desenlace del asunto.
• Aún no sabemos el desenlace del asunto.

Both mean We still don’t know the outcome of the matter.

A few notes:

• todavía is very common in everyday speech
• aún can sound a little more formal or written in some contexts
• in many situations, native speakers use them with almost no difference in meaning

So for a learner, todavía is a very safe and useful choice.

It sounds somewhat neutral-to-formal or at least a bit more elevated than very everyday alternatives.

For example:

• el desenlace del asunto = slightly formal / polished
• cómo acaba esto = more conversational
• el final de todo esto = more everyday
• el resultado del asunto = neutral

So the original sentence is perfectly natural, but it has a slightly more careful or written tone than very casual spoken Spanish.

Yes, that is a very natural English rendering of the idea.

Spanish often uses a noun phrase:

• el desenlace del asunto

But English frequently prefers a clause like:

• how this will end

So all of these can express the sentence well in English:

• We still don’t know the outcome of the matter.
• We don’t know the outcome yet.
• We still don’t know how this will end.
• We don’t know how this matter will end yet.

That does not change the Spanish grammar; it just shows that natural translation does not always follow the exact same structure.
