You look so studios

[Ferdie11]

Hi,

You are at work. You are on your way to your workstation from the pantry. A colleage sees you and says, "You look so studios.'' And you tell him, "No, I don't."

Is the sentence "No, I don't" is the correct reponse to the statement above?

Thanks so much your help.

No. You can't say how you appear to your colleague.

No. You can't say how you appear to your colleague.

Hmm, but the following is common:

A: You look like an idiot in that tie.
B: No, I don't.

That is, B is not telling A how he appears to A. He's really asserting that his tie doesn't make him look (generally) like an idiot.

no,I dont think so because ''you look so studios'' is a statement not a yes/ no question.

I can see 5jj's logic, but I think you could answer No, I don't.

Note: "Colleague" and "studious."

The best answer depends on how you take the idea that you are "studious" and how well you know this colleague.

"No, I don't" is possible. As is "thank you very much" or "yeah, that's what she said."
