GRAMMAR
未だに
still
even now (negative nuance)
Explanation
NOTE
未だに means still or even now — used when a situation has continued far longer than expected, often with a tone of surprise or frustration.
事故の原因は未だに分からない。
The cause of the accident is still unknown.
Often paired with a negative verb to express *still not...*.
NOTE
未だに usually appears with a negative predicate, expressing that something has not happened yet despite the long passage of time.
NOTE
Unlike まだ, 未だに carries a stronger nuance of exasperation or surprise that the situation has not changed.
