Is there a Russian language equivalent to the English "nope" and "yep"?

yep is quite close to "ага" and nope to "неа", but this equivalents has slightly different meaning.

Also, "да не" for nope.

fyi: "не-а" is pronounced with a glottal stop between е and а;
"г" in "ага" is usually pronounced as voiced "h".

and "угу" more like "mm-hmm"

"Nope" doesn't have the same sarcastic connotation as "ага-щаззз".

People often express agreement with the word "ладно", though it also may express a desire to end the conversation ("all right then").

"ОК" roughly equals to "хорошо".

"Yeah, yeah" , or "Oh, yeah?" is the equivalent of "ага-щаззз".

Some people really hate the word "ладно" when it is used instead of "хорошо". They say it sounds like you are doing a favor when you say ладно. Also it is (or was) more used in the countryside. I remember when I was about 5 year old and just returned home after the summer spent with my grandmother, in a small town. I've picked up that d*d word then and my father was really furious at me for using it!
