你好, Chinese learners,
One of the meaning of 還是/还是 (háishì) in Chinese is "It would be better" or "you would better"
Structure

吧 is often placed after this structure, as a suggestion to soften the tone.
Examples

Nǐ bù huì, háishì wǒ zuò ba.
You do not know how, let me do it instead.
- 我 餓 了,我們 還是 先 吃飯 吧。/我 饿 了,我们 还是 先 吃饭 吧。
Wǒ èle, wǒmen háishì xiān chīfàn ba.
I'm hungry, we'd better start eating.
- 你 病 了 這麼 長 時間,還是 去 醫院 吧。/你 病 了 这么 长 时间,还是 去 医院 吧。
Nǐ bìng le zhème cháng shíjiān, háishì qù yīyuàn ba.
