How do you say yet?
As in 'i don't know if we should go out together yet?'

There are two Spanish words for yet, ya and todavía. In this case a construction using ya is called for, but it is a good thing to learn the various meanings of ya, and when to use todavía.
Todavía means 'yet' in the sense of 'still'...
están todavía aquí -> they are still here
¿pero vive todavía? -> but is she still alive?
todavía no -> not yet
todavía no lo he recibido -> I still haven't got it, I haven't got it yet
This is something I wrote concerning 'ya', taken from something I read about it:
"Ya" is a really interesting adverb because it means a lot of things depending on context. In the present tense it means now or already, except in a negative construction when it means no longer:
Ya lo sé - I already know it. Ya estoy listo - Now I'm ready. Ya no trabajo allí - I no longer work there.
In the past though, it almost always means already: Ya lo hice, I already did it.
In the future, it means later: Ya lo haré - I'll do it later. Or to offer assurance: Ya verás que llegará en punto - You'll see that he'll arrive on time.
It can mean since/because: Ya que no está aquí, no pedemos empezar.
To indicate frustration: ¡Basta ya! - Enough already! ¡Ya era hora! - It's about time!
To express agreement: ¡Ya, ya! - Oh sure! Or ironic, mock agreement: Ya, y el papa es luterano. - Sure, and the Pope is Lutheran!
I think it would be something like/along the lines of:
No sé si ya deberíamos salir juntos
o
No estoy seguro si ya deberíamos salir

Corrijan mi español, por favor ![]()
No estoy listo aún.
todavía no se si deberíamos salir juntos
My attempt would be:
No estoy seguro ya (or aún) de que debamos salir.
But like Feliz I would suggest that you wait for a native's thoughts ![]()
