Japanese

<p>
	To say that you have not done something yet, you can use the structure <strong>まだ + て-form + いません</strong>.
	Note that this is <strong>まだ</strong> followed by the negative present continuous.
	This expresses the idea of <strong>have not … yet</strong>.
</p>

<p>Compare the difference between these sentences:</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="267026"></tr>
        <tr data-item="266833"></tr>
		<tr data-item="267027"></tr>
		<tr data-item="266834"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	To make this last sentence, we use <strong>まだ</strong>, meaning <strong>yet</strong>, with a verb in the negative present continuous.
	It can either be formal, <strong>まだ + て-form + いません</strong>, or informal <strong>まだ + て-form + いない</strong>.
