#response words
Here are more ways that you can respond to someone, and sound more fluent!

Use in place of “how terrible”, or “oh my god”. It’s a response to a bad event that has taken place.
¿Cómo no? | Why Not?
It can be used the was English speakers say it, and can be literal as well ( like asking why someone isn’t doing something).

Está bien | ok, alright, that’s good
De acuerdo | Ok (”in agreement”)
Seguro | yes, sure
No me importa | I don’t care

It’s a bit unsympathetic, so if something bad happened, you may not want to use it.

Claro | Sure, Of course, Naturally
Para Nada | No way, No
En Absoluto | Absolutely Not
It looks positive, because there isn’t a “no”, but it’s negative.
