아직

Not 'no' — 'still on the way'
The picture A point marked on a moving timeline, and you haven't reached it yet. The line keeps rolling forward.
Where the picture shows up in 아직
-
before the arrival point
아직 안 왔어요.
a-jik an wa-sseo-yo
He isn't here yet.
안 왔어요 is bare fact; 아직 안 왔어요 carries the expectation that he will.
-
before the ending point
아직 시간 있어요.
a-jik si-gan i-sseo-yo
There's still time.
It works on the positive side too — it isn't only for negatives.
-
before the point of being good at it
저는 아직 잘 못해요.
jeo-neun a-jik jal mo-tae-yo
I'm still not very good.
Unlike a flat 못해요, it implies you're on your way there.
-
before the deciding point
아직 안 정했어요.
a-jik an jeong-hae-sseo-yo
I haven't decided yet.
-
still going, longer than expected
그 식당 아직도 있어요?
geu sik-dang a-jik-do i-sseo-yo
Is that restaurant still around?
아직도 adds surprise that it has lasted this long.
