That's not how "doch" works. It's the German "though" and works to mean effectively "on the contrary" in response to a negative question. It doesn't work in response to a positive question.
"Du magst mich nicht?" You don't like me?
"Doch" Yes I do.
- samatman 4y agoAh, that's too bad, although it fits the 'spirit of German' (Deutchgeist?) better than what I misunderstood it to mean. So yes, the same as the French «Sí» as others have explained it.
- anyfoo 4y ago> (Deutchgeist?) Correct spelling would be "Deutschgeist", but it's not a word that evokes much sense. I think a good translation would be "im Geiste der deutschen Sprache", which more literally translates to "in the spirit of the German language". Yeah, sadly we can't use combined nouns for everything...
