etc. etc. etc.
¿Lo dices así solo? ¿sin terminar la frase y sólo con frases negativas?

Entonces será cierto lo que Angélica dice, es algo que solo se usa en algunas partes del México y tal vez en los estados americanos cerca a la frontera.

Interesante..

You don't mean ¡que no! do you?
I have heard que no used among Latin Americans, and it is a very emphatic no.

That's something totally different. It means "I said no!"
"no que" means something like "didn't you say/hadn't you said that.....?"

"Hadn't you said that you were studying?"
"No habías dicho que estabas estudiando?"
"¿No que estabas estudiando?"

In other countries we say "¿No dizque estabas estudiando?


It would be interested to know how this is said in countries like Argentina and Chile.. or around there.

Not in Chile, we would say "ah, que no iba a.... (etc)"

@Poli: "¿Qué, no?" is also very Mexican indeed (plenty of examples in Pedro Infante movies), and it would certainly express "¿Verdad que sí?".

Vas a venir a verme, ¿qué, no?
You're coming to see me, aren't you?

Finalmente compraste el coche, ¿qué, no?
So you finally bought the car, didn't you?

Querías hacer la fiesta, ¿qué, no? Pues ahora paga las cuentas.
You wanted to make the party, didn't you? So pay the bills now.

Considering all the language variations in the Spanish speaking countries it's amazing that we can still understand each other..

Some of the vocabulary can be very different. I had a hard time talking to a guy from Uruguay once. I know the grammar is the same, but the words change.

Maybe it's just me..

I think it's all in the comma. Qué no without the comma sounds chocante.

By the way, I have a friend whose mother is Mexican. She often finishes her sentence with "no?" It's very much like qué, no in Mexican Spanish.
