They understand the word "no" just fine though they might not accept it as an answer.
You approach a potential customer, a pedestrian who says one word, doesn't look you in the eye, and keeps on walking. What was the word? Another pedestrian says that word followed by two words, doesn't look you in the eye and doesn't break stride. Now, what were those two words? It doesn't matter.
You order a coffee at the Burger King in Edinburgh railway station. The man brings out a styro cup with a lid on it and places it on the counter. He asks a question in what sorta sounds like English, but with a heavy Scottish accent, and you didn't understand a word he said. What was the question?, You see no point in asking him to repeat the question, because for all you know he could have been speaking in Thai. What is your reply?
