〜だに (dani) - Even; just
--- Notes ---
is similar to , and . The particle is often inserted between a noun and
dani but is not necessary. There is a difference between and . Dani gives
the definition just/ even. As do and and can directly follow nouns,
adverbs, and verbs. is different. One main difference is the fact that it
is from 未だに showing a relation to the word mada. Infact, some
dictionaries say that is a variation of mada ni. therefore reflects the
range of meaning is mada ni. Meaning still and yet. It is placed in the
sentence the same way as a normal Ni-type adverb while dani being after
what it modifies. is often in practice written as 今だに although
according to Meikyou dictionary to be be a common misinterpretation which
would be in turn on how Japanese people themselves think about the phrase
as Imada ni does influence the state in the present more than anything
else.

--- Comments ---
いまだに(未だに) is one word. 副詞
(contributor: Miki)
未だに is parsed into 未だ and に.
(contributor: bamboo4)
いまだに = even now
いまどき = in this age (contributor: dc)
ex #3747 is a little off. The word 直る actually means to be fixed or
repaired. 治る is to heal. They have the same pronounciation (なおる)
but the kanji have different meanings. (contributor: CWebb)
just wondering, but how formal is this? Would you use this in everyday
speech, or formal speech, or writing only?
thanks! (contributor: EvilKyra)
EvilKyra, in my experience this is not an expression that you use in
everyday speech. Also, someone does indeed have to clear out all of the
未だに（イマダニ）examples erroneously listed as examples of this
grammar point. (contributor: Lorenz)
According to JDIC, 未だに (いまだに) is an adverb by itself, and
seems to be most of the examples. Is there a difference here between
今だに and 未だに? (contributor: Forveya)
Yes there is a difference and I'm going to put all the examples of imada ni
onto a seperate page with my own editing of the translations. (contributor:
