Should we use 'although' & 'yet' together in a sentence?

Should we use 'although' & 'yet' together in a sentence? Is this native way of speaking or writing? Emotion: smile

Sometimes, grammar is not just a yes or not that can definitively determine it is right or wrong. You need to put them in a context. This is how I would use them: You haven't paid me back the 100$ you borrowed from me 3 months ago, yet, you want to borrow another 100?

Thanks for your valuable comments Dimsumexpress! However, perhaps I could not pen down properly what I was trying to say. I want to mean - can we use 'yet' separately without using 'although'? Or, 'although' is an inevitable part in a sentence if we want to use 'yet' there.

Hope I've clarified this time!

I am not sure if I understand your question. But I'd answer the original question like this since there was no example given, I will assume the intended question was: " can although and yet be used together in a same sentence?". It would be a no if that was the question.

I think you can say
Although it's midnight, we won't go to bed yet.
However, yet in this context has a different meaning.
