Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 还有 (hái yǒu) is composed of two characters: 还 (hái) and 有 (yǒu). The character 还 (hái) originally meant "to return" or "to come back". In modern Chinese, it is often used to indicate "still" or "yet". The character 有 (yǒu) means "to have" or "to exist". When combined, the two characters 还有 (hái yǒu) literally mean "still have" or "still exist". However, in most cases, 还有 is used to express the meaning of "in addition" or "moreover". For example, the sentence "我还有很多书要读" (wǒ hái yǒu hěn duō shū yào dú) means "I still have many books to read". In this sentence, 还有 is used to indicate that there are more books to be read in addition to the ones that have already been read.
