The 'already' implies that you were really quick in buying it, while the 'yet' implies that it took a little while and you wonder whether he/she has bought something by now.. | | | 17 February 2008 20:50 | | | I don't know about the Dutch text, since I don't know a single Dutch word, however I think the English version should read:
and have you already bought it?
or
and have you bought it yet?
