What "nope" acutally means?

2012-04-08 2:43 am
I'm having a complicated relationship with a boy and I asked him last night,
"Which means you have no feeling at all, right?"
And his answered, "Nope"

Can anyone helps me to explain what does he mean here?
No feeling? or he has feeling?

Thanks,,,

This is a fairly complicated question. While we know "nope" means no, we may not be sure whether the boy meant: (1) "no, I don't have any feeling at all", or (2) "no, you're not right, I do have feeling".

Normally, for the English language, the "yes" or "no" answer to a question is based on true or false of the facts, and not on agreement or disagreement of the statement. For example, if the question had been: "you don't have any feeling at all, do you", then the boy's answer of "nop" will mean he has no feeling.

However, in your case the question actually contains 2 parts. The first part is a statement: "you don't have any feeling at all", and the second part is the question "right?", which means "am I right (in saying that)?".

Therefore, when the boy answered "nop", he actually meant "no, you're not right, I do have feeling".

The answer to your question is that he has feeling.

nope - verbally say NO or definitely NO

Better forget him and do something more meaningful.

"nope" 係 no 和 hope 的混合體(?) ,意思係冇希望

He has no feeling.

nope係"no"咁解,等如yeah同"yes"一樣。
