There is no one in earth stronger than people who learn English as a second language. I bow to you

In case this is confusing, here’s some more explanation.

Yeah = yeah

No = No

No, Yeah = Yeah (the no dismisses uncertainty about the yeah)

Yeah, no = No (the yeah confirms the no)

Yeah- no, for sure = yeah (yeah is the answer, with “no, for sure” as emphasis under the same rule as “no, yeah” where the no dismisses uncertainty about the for sure. Generally this means the speaker actually agrees with the asker)

Yeah, yeah, yeah = no (because either the speaker is not listening/paying attention, does not believe the asker, or they are dismissing the asker, often because they have something else to say/suggest; additionally this one is usually used with familiarity, not strangers, and often accompanies annoyance of some sort)

Yeah- no, yeah = Yeah (same terms as “yeah- no, for sure” but less enthusiastic or less in agreement with the asker, ie: willing to do it but may not want to do it where “it” may be anything from agreeing with the asker to doing a task)

No- yeah, no = No (no is the answer, with “yeah, no” as emphasis under the same rule as “yeah, no”)

i mean I second other non-English speakers in the notes 1) this kind of slang/informal contradicting phrasing is present in other languages! 2) if you grew up on the internet as a kid it’s VERY likely you had to learn English somewhere either way it’s still a pain in the butt to get used to that kind of phrasing 🥲 no matter which language it is !
