Could you teach me how YET sounds like in a question sentence?
I wonder it depends on my intonation🤔

For example, if I say "Have you looked through it yet?" without a negative feeling, does it sound like I just want to know you have looked through it?
But if I say with a negative feeling like "... looked through it yet!?!?", does it sound like you haven't FINISHED it!? I told you blah blah...?

It depends on your tone and the situation. Sometimes using yet is neutral, sometimes it's negetive, like you said. If you want to be safe, you can say "have you gotten a chance to look through it yet?" Using "have you gotten a chance to [verb] yet" is softer than "have you [verb] yet?"

That's good to know because I don't want to be rude and misunderstood!
Thank you for your recommendation!
