"stále" is one of those words that I never know how to translate. Would "constantly" or "continuously" work here?

    There are multiple meanings. Here "all the time" is best. Somewhere else "continuously", elsewhere "still" or "yet" (in some cases it is a synonym of ještě).

      Tahle věta může hrozně lidi plést. Klidně se tím může myslet, že začal křičet před chvilkou a ještě pořád křičí nebo že už to začíná být jeho rutinou a že se jedná o pravidelnou činnost. Obě jsou správně a záleží tedy na okolnostech.

        Ano, tak to chodí. Oba významy jsou uznávané.

          why doesnt "He is always yelling into the phone" work? also isnt "in" used as well as "into" ? "into" seems quite wierd to me in this case..
