TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

How To say 'NO' in various English Registers

今日は受験（じゅけん）、とくに入学試験（entrance examination）のお話です。私たちは人生の中で、いったい何回、入学試験を受けなければならないのでしょうか。最近は幼稚園（ようちえん kindergarten）から「お受験」がありますからね。親も子も、大変な時代です。その中に合って、私の受験回数は、多分最小（さいしょう minimun）だと思います。うふふ。えーそれから、日本の教育制度（きょういくせいど education system）と長い長い受験シーズンについても、ご紹介しますね。ちなみに「1千万円   ¥10,000,000≒77，190USD」という、お金の話が出てきますが、日本人が1年で働いてもらうお金の平均（へいきん average）は460万だと言われています。本当に、教育とお金の問題は出口が見えません。
