I am just unsure if you read the whole conversation that could have changed the meaning cause first I only posted a snippet. That's all. :)

I know I would get explanations and so on somewhere else, but just a short Interpretation of a normal native English speaker is enough. I think it's an easy everyday conversation and I just want to go sure to understand Cathy's last statement in the whole conversation right. So realy thanks in...

So I would be very glad for any help :)

yeah, but as a silent reader here with many native english speaking here I would be very happy to get help :)

? :)

Oh didn't see this. And you also saw the whole conversation (not only the snippet) and there it's clear that Cathy's last sentence "No they aren't" means "No, they are not the same person" correct? Whole conversation: Bryan: Is that an old photo of your friend? Cathy: No, I don't think so...

Well, in Catpats Profile is the info she is American?

yes you all said it means "they are not the same person". But User cat said it's also possible that it can mean "No that's wrong. They are the same person". So I wanted to know more about it. Or did I missunderstand Cat?

Okay, but I'm sorry I don't understand your answer what Cathy means with her last statement "No they aren't." Does she want to say "No, they are not the same" or is possible she wants to say "No, that is wrong, they are the same"?

Yes I know, I am just confused that everyone is telling me that Cathy's last answer "No they aren't" means "No, they are not the same person" and Cat thinks it's unclear and can also mean "No that's wrong, they are the same person." Or did I missunderstand something? Whole conversation: Bryan...

And another question I ask myself: Is it realy unclear how Cathy's "No they aren't" is meant? Cause I thought the other ones were telling me it is sure that it means "No they aren't the same person." and it cannot mean "No I disagree. I think they are the same person"?

(whole conversation: Bryan: Is that an old photo of your friend? Cathy: No, I don't think so. Bryan: Okay, I always need to think about that person on the picture, who I thought was your friend. But they are not the same then. Cathy: No they aren't.)

Ah thank you. So in the end Cathy confirms that the person on the photo and the friend are not the same person, correct?

Cat? :)

Thank you. :) Thank you, but I don't understand the sentence.

Ok thank you, but If you see the whole conversation: Bryan: Is that an old photo of your friend? Cathy: No, its not a photo of my friend. Bryan: Okay, I always need to think about that person on the picture, who I thought was your friend. But they are not the same then. Cathy: No they aren't...

Thank you all for your answers. :) So just to understand you right: Cathy's last statement "No they aren't" means the same as "No, I agree, they are not the same.", correct?

Thank you for your friendly answers. :) It helped me a lot. I am somehow a little bit unsure, if this all fits for the whole conversation: Bryan: Is that an old photo of your friend? Cathy: No, I don't think so. Bryan: Okay, I always need to think about that person on the picture, who I...

It,s just an example snippet I found in a book that I could not explain. But all in all it's correct to say that both (Bryan and Cathy) think they are not the same, correct?

So all in all both (Bryan and Cathy) think they are not the same? Then thanks in advance for your help and warm welcome :)

Thx :) Just to make sure I understand the opening statement of Bryan correct: The words "but" and "then" in his sentence "but they are not the same then" don't change the meaning so: "but they are not the same then." = "they are not the same.", correct?

So you also think she means it like b) I agree, they are not the same?

First I'm sorry to disturb, but I am a writer in my language and in need of a native American-English Speaker, so I thought it's good to register here. It's about the following conversation: Bryan: But they are not the same then. Cathy: No they aren´t. The "no" confuses me. So I ask myself...
