Thus far; up to the present; up to some specified time; still; usually in negative or interrogative use, often with an expectation or potential of something happening in the future; affirmative use is literary or poetic.
"I have not finished reading the book yet, but I expect to finish it tonight."
In plain English: Yet means not still, used to show that something has happened up until now but might happen later.
"I have not finished my homework yet."
Usage: Use "yet" primarily at the end of a sentence to indicate that something has not happened up to now but is expected soon, especially in negative statements and questions. It often pairs with present perfect verbs like "have you finished yet?" rather than simple past forms such as "did you finish yet."
Nevertheless; however; but; despite that.
"The rain poured all night, yet we still went hiking in the morning."
The word "yet" comes from Old English, where it originally meant "already." It is built from two ancient roots meaning "long time" and "towards," combining to express the idea of something happening after that duration.
