An echo language is a language that doesn't use specific words for yes and
no, but rather restates the main verb of the question. Some echo languages do
have words for yes and no as well, but their usage is usually quite
restricted compared to non-echo languages. Echo languages include Mandarin,
Finnish, Latin and Welsh. An echo language is a language that doesn't use specific words for yes and

标题: [问题] 希腊文否定问句的回答
时间: Sun Mar 31 17:15:01 2013
据我所知，否定问句的回答，有三种可能的情形。
1. 华语和日语：否定问句跟肯定问句有相反的回答。
2. 英语和希伯来语：否定问句跟肯定问句有相同的回答。
3. 法语和德语是第三种情形。
肯定问句的yes:：法语用oui德语用ja
否定问句的yes:：法语用si德语用doch
所有问句的no：法语用non德语用nein
请问希腊文的情形如何?
