尚待 is an adverbial phrase meaning 'still awaits' or 'remains to be done/decided/confirmed.' It conveys that something has not yet been completed, resolved, or finalized — often with a formal, written, or slightly bureaucratic tone. The character 尚 means 'still' or 'yet,' while 待 means 'to wait for' or 'to await'; together, they form a compact expression indicating ongoing suspension or pending status.

This phrase is commonly used in official documents, news reports, academic writing, and formal speech — for example, when referring to unresolved issues, unconfirmed facts, or tasks still in progress. It is rarely used in casual conversation and almost never with personal pronouns or informal subjects. While grammatically it modifies verbs (e.g., 尚待解决), it functions as a fixed adverbial unit and cannot be split or altered without losing its meaning.
