This might seem like a really easy, silly and simple question but what does "Si aun" mean?

Thanks Cardiff smile

Sorry oh oh the context is in this sentence : "Si aun quieres saber algo de el y no te puedes comunicar con el, vuelve a escribirme.""

Looks like aun here should be aún, synonymous with todavía meaning "still" - MaureenPeters, Jul 20, 2010

As with all translations, full context would really help us give you the 100% correct answer. Aun can mean "still" or "even" depending on the phrase.

For example:

Si aun estas en el trabajo cuando llego a casa, empezaré a cocinar la cena.

In English, that would be, "If you are still at work when I get home..."

The more info you give, the better results you'll get! wink

Si and Aun are words that, if they carry a tilde diacrítica, can alter the meaning of the words from "if" and "even" to "yes" and "still" respectively, therefore the context in which you use these words as a phrase is important. Can I ask if there really are no tildes on the words?

I have seen the sentence written "para saber si aun te amo" which has been translated as "to find out if I still love you". If they really wanted to say that the aun should carry a tilde over the "u" i.e "para saber si aún te amo" It would appear that this can happen with song titles on the internet so take care with on line translators

Thank you very much everyone smile

So from what you've said it could mean 'even if' or 'if...still'?

I hope it means 'even if' in this context- long story :S
