| Aug 9, 2015 at 14:56 | comment | added | bereal | @hazoris this is so intonation and contex-sensitive, that I would not take any risks and ask again. Usage of "то" is surely confusing here. | |

| Aug 9, 2015 at 14:46 | comment | added | Matt | @hazoriz BTW. "Нет, то нет" vs "Нет, так нет" has much significance here. The first is usually (1) while the second is usually (2). ("то" is about implication and "так" is about consensus). | |
| Aug 9, 2015 at 14:42 | comment | added | Matt | @hazoriz That only possible in some context. I.e. when it goes together with the proposal it may mean both (depends on the stress). But if the proposal was clearly refused earlier then giving a kind of cart blanche seems to have a little sense. Having said it, it's still better to reveal some more of the context. | |
