Can someone please translate "아니요..아닌 것 같아요"
I asked if my friend "괜찮아?" because he seemed kind of down and he replied with "아니요..아닌 것 같아요". Does that mean "No, I don't think so"? (meaning he is not okay??)

Thanks in advance

Answer

괜찮아? (Are you Ok?)
아니요..아닌 것 같아요 (No, I don't think so / No, I don't seem to be.)

Your interpretation is correct.
Answering 아닌 것 같아요 to 괜찮아? seems rare and a little odd, though.

Answer

"No, it's nothing" meaning the person is fine.I am not a native speaker of Korean but I think that's what it means.
