Did you know?
- While aún no disponible is standard, in some Latin American countries, you might hear people use the verb faltar to express that something is not yet available, such as Aún nos falta… meaning 'We are still missing…'.
- The word aún functions as a 'chameleon' word where a single accent mark changes its entire meaning from 'still' to 'even'.
- The word disponible shares a common root with the Latin verb pōnō, which means 'to place' or 'to put'. This suggests that something being available is etymologically linked to being 'placed at hand'.
