They have the same meaning (something hasn’t ended or been completed), but the difference is on the position.

You can also hear yet being used like “You have yet to find out all the mysteries about life” In my opinion, it sounds a little old fashioned, but if you ever hear it, it’s important to know that you cannot replace it with still, even if you change the position. That’s because these words are used mostly in negative sentences

A: ¿Qué significan still, yet y already?

Lo complicado aquí es que a veces el significado cambia según el uso.
En una pregunta, la palabra de yet se traduce por “ya” y en una negación es más bien “todavía”.
Pero no te preocupes. Suena más difícil de lo que es.
Los ejemplos lo aclararán más adelante. Aquí las definiciones:
Still = todavía – una acción que continua
Yet = ya / todavía (se usa principalmente en preguntas y negaciones)
Already = ya… o antes de lo esperado (se usa en afirmaciones y preguntas)
Estas tres palabras se usan mucho con el presente perfecto, pero también se pueden usar con otros tiempos verbales – por ejemplo, still funciona muy bien con presente simple o continuo porque habla de acciones que siguen.
Así la respuesta a la pregunta original es que yet se usa en negaciones como “todavía” pero en preguntas como “ya”.
Vamos a ver…
