How to Say ‘It yet not completely’ in German
Es noch nicht ganz
ess nokh nikht gahnts
[ess nokh nikht gahnts]
💬 Usage Tip: German often stacks small meaning words after the object: [es noch nicht ganz] = "it still not quite." [noch nicht] means "not yet / still not," and [ganz] softens it to "not completely."
