"we just got there" vs "we've arrived there yet"

The phrase 'we just got there' is correct and commonly used to indicate that the speaker and others have recently arrived at a place. On the other hand, 'we've arrived there yet' is incorrect because it combines past tense ('we've arrived') with a question about the present ('yet'). These phrases are not comparable as they convey different meanings.
