It is amazing to see that in different languages, the answers of a disjunctive question can be divided.
For example,
"Don't you know it?" ＂你不知道嗎？＂
If you know it, you answer "yes", a positive word in English; but in Chinese, you should answer with a negative word "不".
It is understandable, because to answer with a positive word is to agree with the speaker's idea, and to answer with a negative word is to oppose the negator in the question. Vice versa.
Google Translate doesn't do well on it. Please help to fill in the list. Keep the alphabetic order.
| Positive if do / Negative if do not | Negative if do / Positive if do not |
|---|---|
| English | Chinese
Japanese |
