While not an HSK word, 迄今 can be connected to HSK vocabulary related to time, such as 现在 (xiàn zài) meaning 'now.' Students should focus on using this word in context to describe ongoing situations.
Learners often confuse 迄今 with 直到 (zhí dào), which means 'until.' For example, saying '我将工作直到今' is incorrect; it should be '我将工作迄今.'
