This form can make your words sound a bit stronger. It's like saying, 'Why haven't you done it YET?' instead of just, 'Why haven't you done it?'

This is different from '〜とらへん'. '〜とらへん' is for your own actions. '〜よらへん' is for what others are doing. It is also different from '〜へん'. '〜へん' just means 'don't' or 'won't'. '〜よらへん' means 'is not doing' or 'has not done'.

Watch out: Do not use "〜よらへん" for yourself. Use it for other people. It means they are not doing something. For yourself, use "〜とらへん". For example, say "I haven't gotten ready yet" as "私、まだ準備してとらへん".
