English 'yet' is somewhat similar to 'still' and is also often translated as 'nog' - especially in the negative 'not yet' - 'nog niet' 2 3 and 'nog geen' - something awaiting fulfillment, a situation not reached, a condition not met (niet 2 'not' is a kind of adverb, stating a negative about a verb or saying an action was not taken, while geen 'no' is a kind of adjective meaning 'zero quantity.')
It may be that 'nog niet' refers to time, something hasn't happened yet, while 'nog geen' refers to items.
