The grammatical form MADA (まだ) + TE FORM of the Verb (-て) followed by INAI (いない) expresses the STATE or something NOT DONE YET.

In this video, we'll practice this form with several examples.

Also, I'll explain to you the difference between MADA (また゛) + Verb in -te (-て) form followed by -inai (-いない) vs. followed by the verb in -nai form (ない).

The first implies that while something hasn't happened yet, it's planned.



For example, MADA TABETEINAI (まだ食べていない) means " I haven't eaten yet (but I will), while MADA TABENAI まだ食べない expresses that at the moment I don't have the intention to eat.
