I said to friend: “I got screwed”. “Want me to explain how?”
He replied: “not yet”.I expected “Not now”
Are now and yet same things? I dont think so.
What is difference between now and yet?
As far as I think Yet means until now
And now is the present time
So he used the wrong word in my opinion – am I correct?
Answer
He is not necessarily using the wrong word.
“Now now” is a better expression but can come over as rude.
If however he is busy with something, “Not Yet” means “Wait until I am ready”
