word meaning - What is the difference between “nope” and “no”?


What is the difference caused by using “nope” instead of ”no”?


Is it used because “nope” sounds better and not straight like “no”? In some situations, it feels like nope is better to use than no even though it adds 2 more characters. What is the reason why many use it?



Answer



From here, they have no difference in meaning; but nope is more informal, only used in a sense of opposite to yes (or yup). Also, nope is not used often in writing.


You wouldn't say "there were nope errors", for example.
