Also means
again
Usage Note
Encore covers a lot of ground — 'still', 'again', 'yet', and 'more' all at once, so encore du pain ? offers more bread while pas encore means not yet. English borrowed it whole for the theatrical shout, though the French actually call out bis ! instead.
Examples
"Il dort encore."
Natural Translation
He's still sleeping.
Literal Translation
He sleeps still
