When the verb is \u6709 (y\u01d2u) then the \u2018no\u2019 response is \u6ca1\u6709 (m\u00e9i y\u01d2u), otherwise, \u4e0d&nbsp;(b\u00f9) is used. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as in other languages, there are several different ways for us to use the word no in Chinese, it\u2019s not just to refuse or disagree.
