I won't take a "no" as an answer. (?)

I'd like to do a suggestion for this post.

I would use this word, really I don't know if am right or wrong, but then you give me an advice.

I don't admit one not for answer. This instance can works too?
Only I translated the phrase for answer you the question.

Sincerely yours.

Your sentence doesn't work, Crotalito. 'Admit' is the wrong verb, and the correct word is 'no' (not 'not'). You should not use 'one' in front the word 'no'. You may use the indefinite article 'a'.

The common expression is in post #3.

"I won't accept no for an answer," is also used, but it's not nearly as common.
