[Grammar] 'Yes, you are wrong.'

[sky3120]

I think that yes / no question is really tricky for non native English speakers to learn.

Someone says 'Yes, you are wrong.', but someone says, "No, you are wrong." because wrong is a negative word. For example,

A: Am I wrong?

B: Yes, you are wrong. / No, you are wrong.

Which one is a natural way of answering the question sentence? Or is there a meaning difference between them? Thank you so much as always and I hope to hear from you.

Remember these lines from a famous old song - "Yes, we have no bananas".
Yes (It is correct), we have no (there is a lack of) bananas. The fruit seller was the optimistic sort who decided to always put things forth in the most positive manner.

Your first suggestion is correct. Effectively, it means "Yes, your statement is correct - you are wrong".
