How it's used

Used in formal or literary contexts to mean 'still' or 'not yet', often with a negative verb. It is more emphatic than 'mada'.

いまだに彼から返事がない。
Imada ni kare kara henji ga nai.
I still haven't received a reply from him.

その問題はいまだ解決していない。
Sono mondai wa imada kaiketsu shite inai.
That problem has not been solved yet.

⚖️ Commonly confused with 'mada'; 'imada' is more formal and often implies a stronger sense of 'not yet'.
