I know "No, thank you" means rejection.
Me: Hey, Bob. You want some drink?
Bob: No, thank you.
But I was involved with this kind of conversation
Me: Thanks, Mr Jordan for teaching me.
Mr.Jordan: No! Thank you!
Did he reject my thanks? Does this mean that it's something like No Problem, or is he trying to say that I'm the one who should thank you!. Or has he had enough of me? He has taught me for 5 years, so we have a good relationship (I hope).
2I think your response would better be written: Mr. Jordan: No! Thank you. Emphasis is on the you. @StoneyB's answer is correct. It is a very pleasant response to receive. – Spehro Pefhany – 2014-09-13T15:36:56.140
7The "no" means "No need to thank me." Mr Jordan is thanking *you* for the opportunity to teach you (or whatever). – Drew – 2014-09-13T16:54:44.453
