未

未 (wèi) - Not yet, never

Explanation

未 is an adverb used to negate an action or state that has already occurred, equivalent to 'not yet' or 'never' in English. It is usually used in writing or formal contexts, carrying a more objective tone than '没'. For example: '还未联系' means 'have not yet made contact', '四十未到' means 'not yet forty years old'. The common structure is 未 + verb/adjective.
