The synonym "än" is however only used with the first option: "Jag har inte sett honom än." - but it is not used with a negative. There are some slight nuances in the meaning of the words, in that "inte ännu"/"ännu inte" might imply that one isn't quite certain if it ever will happen, while "inte än" implies a certain degree of confidence that it will happen (sooner or later). Concerning the synonyms: "hittills" is only used about conditions which have been true up to the present time. yet another Compare word order for the different synonyms: ännu ett motiv ytterligare ett motiv ett motiv till As for meaning, 'till' can be translated as "another" while 'ännu' and 'ytterligare' are "yet another". In Finland ännu can however mean ytterligare, see the adjective header. === References === ännu in Svensk ordbok (SO) ännu in Svenska Akademiens ordlista (SAOL) ännu in Svenska Akademiens ordbok (SAOB)
