I'm pretty sure Spanish "todavia" is spelled with an acute accent on the "i". "Aun" has a form with and without the accent on the "u" but I always get them confused. Is this the right one here?
In spanish , it is spelled "aun" when it means "incluso" (even), and "aún" when it means "todavía" (still, yet). The word "todavía" is always accented. 87.218.79.241 16:50, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
"Yet" does not mean "now" in the example given in def #1. When used with a negative word like "not" it indicates something which has not happened "up to" the current time, but will or is desired to happen at some point.
"As yet" should only be linked here as derived or related, and defined on that page. — 138.130.36.104 12:53, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I suggest that we delete definition 1 since all usage I have seen is included by definition 2.
One usage which is common is "up until then" (e.g. "He had not yet heard the news.")
This usage always strikes me as odd (I almost claim incorrect), but it is common. Dbfirs 08:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Is it sure the pronounciation is /jet/, and not /jEt/ ? The audio file sounds like the latter. Frigo 01:34, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
The use of 'yet' as a conjunction ("He's a fool, yet I love him anyway") should be covered, but is not.
have to is not a copulative verb though --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:55, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Can the fifth meaning be expressed by still? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:58, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
What meaning covers yet again in a sentence such as Yet again, we find the same reluctance to act. --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:00, 15 September 2019 (UTC) --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:00, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
isn't some time yet sum-of-parts? --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:10, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

used to emphasize that something is the best, longest, etc. thing of its kind made, produced, written, etc. until now/then: It was the tallest building yet constructed anywhere. Otherwise than changing the current definitions, this use needs its own meaning --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:04, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Is the use of yet to mean already particular to the phrase "Are we there yet?" It seems to me we should either have that phrase as an idiom, or another sense of the word itself here, it doesn't seem to fall under any of those we currently have. --Droigheann (talk) 22:54, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
In the following quote, yet seems to be used as a somewhat sardonic/cheeky interjection expressing surprise.
