Questions & Answers about ¿Todavía no has comprado la batidora?
Why use todavía no instead of ya no to say "not yet"?
Todavía no translates to "not yet" or "still haven't," expressing that an expected action hasn't happened. Ya no means "not anymore" or "no longer." If you asked ¿Ya no has comprado...?, it would confusingly sound like "Have you stopped buying...?"
Why is the present perfect (has comprado) used here rather than the simple past (compraste)?
In Spanish from Spain, the present perfect is strongly preferred for actions that have an immediate connection to the present moment, even if the timeframe isn't explicitly stated. Asking ¿No has comprado...? implies the expectation to buy it has current, ongoing relevance.
Is batidora the standard word for blender in Spain, or can I use licuadora?
