Which could be the right way to say this?

Question

Hello everyone!

I don't know the right way to say "Todavía lo eres / Aún lo eres" in english. This could be the context:

Person 1: -Era muy bueno para las matemáticas / I was pretty good at maths.

Person 2: -Todavía lo eres.

I would say: "You still are." Nevertheless, I'm not totally sure of it.

Could you help me with this translation, please?

Thank you all.

I've heard of "yet you are", but wait for a native to answer. - Oshnaj, Aug 1, 2016

He's asking for an English translation, I think. - Oshnaj, Aug 1, 2016

Answer 1

Here is something about still and yet

BBC

Your use of still sounds natural and correct to me.

I can think of a scenario when you could use yet:

A. John used to be pretty good at maths, but he hasn't studied for years. B Yet he is still good.

Or 'Yet, he was able to do my homework yesterday.'

Yet is used less often than still. If you want to try out different sentences I or others would be happy to correct or amend.

I am British and think we use yet more than Americans.

Which country are you from (your profile says your Spanish is fluent). I think Americans would say 'math' not maths.

Thank you for your reply. I want to know how to use it in that specific context. Do you think "you still are" is right? - Santyy7, Aug 1, 2016

ohh that's great to know :) - Santyy7, Aug 1, 2016

Yes it is the perfect translation - Mardle, Aug 1, 2016

Thank you so much!! - Santyy7, Aug 1, 2016
