"Seine Eltern wohnen jedoch immer noch dort."

[BridgetEA]

Can anyone help me understand the word order in this sentence?

[percusse]

What does "immer" reinforce here? It looks redundant from an English language point of view.

[christian]

"immer noch" is more emphatic than "noch".

[Erikman]

It puts emphasis on the word 'noch.' It would be like saying, "His parents are still living there."

[mtparkes87]

Why can't it be "His parents live there still however"? Okay, it's a bit clunky as a sentence, but surely the meaning is identical?

[David910890]

As a native English speaker, you would be understood, but it is an awkward sentence. "His parents still live there, however", or "However, his parents still live there" would be more natural.

[edudobay]

What is the sense that 'jedoch' has that 'but' doesn't?

[huangjieyi]

can I use 'da' to replace 'dort'?

[OldSpiceGuy]

It should work fine, depending on context. Da is a "close" there, dort is a "farther" there - i.e. over there.

[Bob46196]

Except when I answered "However, his parents still live over there" it said I was wrong. It probably should have accepted my answer though.

[ppchandler]

"His parents, however, still reside there" is perfectly correct.

When does one use "Allerdings" and when does one use "jedoch"?
