还要 (hái yào) is a common Chinese phrase meaning 'also need' or 'still need.' It is used to indicate that something additional is required or expected, often in the context of a continuing action or requirement.

The character 还 (hái) means 'still' or 'again,' and 要 (yāo) means 'need' or 'want.' Together, they form a phrase that emphasizes an ongoing necessity or an added requirement beyond what has already been mentioned.
