📚 Word Explanation

仍可 (réng kě)

仍可 is an adverbial phrase meaning 'still can' or 'still possible,' expressing that a condition, ability, or possibility continues to exist despite changes, time passing, or adverse circumstances. The first character 仍 (rēng) means 'still' or 'yet,' conveying continuity; the second character 可 (kě) means 'can' or 'possible,' indicating feasibility or permission. Together, they form a concise, formal expression commonly used in written Chinese, medical reports, official announcements, and academic contexts—not typically in casual speech.

This phrase often appears after a subject and before a verb or adjective, as in '仍可食用' (still edible) or '病情仍可控制' (the condition is still controllable). It carries a tone of cautious optimism or factual persistence, implying that although challenges exist, a positive outcome remains within reach. Learners should note it’s more common in formal registers than spoken Mandarin, where alternatives like 还可以 are preferred.
