Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese term '还 (hái)' carries two main implications based on context. First, it can be used to indicate a continuing action or state, similar to 'still' or 'yet' in English. Secondly, it can indicate the addition of something or someone else to what has already been mentioned, comparable to the English term 'in addition'.
