🌿 아직(still, yet)

🍒 아직 -있다 vs. 아직 -고 있다.

 

아직 means still or yet.

• 저 아직 놀아요. (I still play.)
• 저 아직 놀고 있어요. (I am still playing.)

We use both. Both are natural.

-고 있다 can use only with verb, not adjective.

⭕ 저는 아직 어려요.(I am young)
❌ 저는 아직 어리고 있어요.(I am doing young)

If you want to use -고 있다 with an adjective, you have use ’-어지고 있다’

🙆‍♀️ 저는 어려지고(<-어리어지고) 있어요. (I am getting younger.)
