How to Understand
依旧
依旧 means 'still' or 'yet' in English, indicating that a situation remains unchanged despite changes in other circumstances. It emphasizes continuity or persistence.
The character 依 (yī) originally meant 'to rely on' or 'to follow,' while 旧 (jiù) means 'old' or 'previous.' Together, 依旧 conveys the idea of continuing in an old way or maintaining a previous state.
It is often used in conversational Chinese to highlight that something has not changed, such as feelings, conditions, or situations. For example, it can express that someone still feels the same way even after time has passed.
