The phrase "아니. 절대 그렇지 않아" is used to negate a statement or express disagreement. It is often employed in response to a question or assertion. The word "아니" means "no," while "절대" translates to "never" or "absolutely." The phrase "그렇지 않아" means "it's not like that." When combined, this sentence conveys a strong denial or contradiction.
