Fabulous - those examples are helpful. For some reason, I was having trouble imagining what kind of comparison used "even". Now I see. (DOH!)

So, in any of your sentences, you could have used "todavía" instead of "aún"? GOOD to know!

Yes, in all of them. Aún = todavía.

Awesome examples! That's something that will come in handy. In fact, I think I'll go post a Facebook update in spanish, just so I can use it!

It's probably wrong, but no one in my network speaks spanish anyway. But here it is:
"No sabía 'aún' y 'aun' son dos palabras con sentidos diferentes. Tambíen aprendía uno uso nuevo para 'aún'. ¡La palabra tiene aún más utíl que yo creía!"

Nice sentence, Fazor!

"Uno", when placed before a word, becomes "un" for euphony reasons.

You could have also said: "La palabra tiene aún más utilidad de la que yo creía"

"de la que"; what exactly is going on there? "has even more utility than (the utility) that I thought." ?
