Here's how to say no in English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese - without saying anything


So now, if you wanna say no in any language, you don't even have to utter a word. Scientists have claimed that by making one simple facial expression, people can tell if you're unhappy about something.

displeased in English

They call it the "not face". This expresses your disapproval of something regardless of where you are in the world and these scientists say its very effective and can even be used in sign language.

By making a furrowed brow, pressed together lips and a raised chin, you can say "no" in English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and Signing.
