No

I saw a superimposed title which went like this:


A: No loses on your side?

B: Yes. We are all safe and sound.


Does the underlined "Yes" sound right? Or is it possible that it was wrongly translated? Shouldn't it be "No" instead?

  

Top answer

No. (It is just conceivable that someone might say this, momentarily thinking that they were agreeing that there were none, but it is confusing.)
