OK, I'm wondering what word to use for "still". For instance:

We planned to go to the zoo today. Do you still want to go?

In writing: Today is Friday morning. I stopped for some coffee and a donut. I went to a meeting. Will write more later.....Well, it's still Friday and now I'm going to.... (meaning I was continuing my writing on Friday, and not on Saturday or Sunday).

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

"still" in that sentence means "todavia" Todavia quieres ir ? and Todavia es Viernes. It's still Friday.
Have a beautiful weekend.:)

Todavía is probably the most common way of translating still, and works well in the examples from post #1, but another option would be aún, which translates to still or yet.

Aún es viernes. - It's still Friday.

lets not forget that still is a homonym que tambien significa tranquilo, inmovil y distileria ilicito.
