"Mio padre è ancora al lavoro."

Translation: My father is still at work.

Why is "my father is at work again" not correct?

Question please:Mio padre è ancora al lavoro. As lavoro is "I work", why is it not "mio padre è ancora al il suo lavora" as in "his work"?

[DavidArmil]

this is my question exactly!!!

[DavidArmil]

I don't understand why it is lavoro but I verified it externally:
"Mio padre è ancora al lavora" = My father is still working

I wonder, why duolingo lists it ONLY as "even" if there are other meanings and it offers them in the exercises? Italian itself is difficult enough, do not mislead us, duolingo, please.

Apparently "my papa is still at work" doesn't work because your "dad" is not your "papa"? WHY DUOLINGO?!?!

[tango-alpha]

so ancora can mean more, again, still, even, and yet?

[arch855342]

Not appropriately translated. It could be 'my father is not yet at work' or 'my father is still at work'

[sam82410]

Is this propper english "my father is yet working???"

[Joshua_Elliott]

No

[AlexH.2]

It tells me it should be 'My father is yet at work'. Not sure if thats good English.

[XlUi8bZ7]

No it isn't

[6ZEdipiD]

ancora has several meanings, so several translations should be correct, like "my father is again at work"
