    Why Её? Why not она ?

      We use genitive case with "нет". Like, roughly, "there is none of her".

          "Она нет здесь" sounds like "she no here". You can say "Она не здесь", though.

            "Она здесь не в данный момент". Is this wrong?

              Can it also be translated as "Её здесь нет сейчас"?

                Yes, but it is somewhat less common word order.

                    Can someone explain the word order to me? I don't understand "She nothing here not"?
