I think this verb mainly used to mean "It hasn't happened."
But, sometimes it means already done or the best.
How can you differentiate these cases?
Please let me know~!

when something will imminently happen (not here yet) or is the most successful to date for whatever reason (that's the best yet). For this reason, it means that it's a success that has the potential to be surpassed at any time.

"yet" is not a verb. It has two uses - as an adverb and as a conjunction. As a conjunction it means "nevertheless; for all that;" sometimes it is preceded by "and" or "but" and somethimes strengthened by adding "nevertheless". As an adverb it has many meanings. For all the different adverbial meanings I suggest you consult a good dictionary.

It´s usually used in negative and conditional contexts, but also in texts indicating ignorance or uncertainty and also immediately after the word "not". Some examples: They are not here yet ?(uncertainty) or need you go yet? Also used to indicate future time like in " the enemy may win yet or he may surprise us yet". Also used instead of up to now : "As yet we haven´t made any plans.... Another use of yet is: nevertheless: "he worked hard, yet he failed".
