Other / No, not really.
English term or phrase: No, not really
Hello friends,
Kindly help me is finding the right phrase that fits in this sentence.

It is a medical setting, and it is just not sounding correct with ( كلا، هذا ليس صحيح) because in Arabic when we have to negations we can turn it into a positive by saying ( نعم هذا صحيح ) or we might say (كلا، ليس كثيرا).
So what do you think?



Patient: It seems that I have not lost much weight since the last time I came.

MA: No, not really.
