@dylan22,

I agree that the participants in your thread (Brian & Cathy) disagree.

@dylan22,

Mate....Really?
Brian says 'That your friend in this photo, Cath'?
Cath says 'No, Brian it (tempted) fluffy bunny isn't'.
They disagree - Don't agree - See things differently - Agree-eth not.
That's the crux of it.

@mark noble,

Yes, but I wanted to get the meaning of Cathys "No they aren't" in this context:

Bryan: Okay, I always need to think about that person on the picture, who I thought was your friend. But they are not the same then.
Cathy: No they aren't

And there she agrees with Bryan that they are not the same, like Glennn said, correct?
So all in all Cathys "No they aren't" = "No, I agree, they are not the same", correct?

I am just left a bit confused after mark nobles answers, Sorry.

If you read the whole conversation:
Bryan: Is that an old photo of your friend?
Cathy: No.
Bryan: Okay, I always need to think about that person on the picture, who I thought was your friend. But they are not the same then.
Cathy (looks closer): No they aren't.

In this conversation Cathy's last statement "No they aren't." has the meaning:
"My friend and the person in that picture are two different people. They are not the same person.", correct?

You can't draw to that conclusion from the information provided.

@cicerone imposter,

What's then the meaning of Cathy's "No they aren't"? I can only think of 2:

a) "No that is wrong, they are the same person."
b): "They are not the same person."

My answers in GREEN.

If you read the whole conversation:
Bryan: Is that an old photo of your friend?
Cathy: No.
Bryan: Okay, I always need to think about that person on the picture, who I thought was your friend. But they are not the same then.
Cathy (looks closer): No they aren't.

Cathy confirmed twice that both people in the photo was not her friend.

In this conversation Cathy's last statement "No they aren't." has the meaning:
"My friend and the person in that picture are two different people. They are not the same person.", correct?

Yes, they are not the same people.

Iam Sorry but I don't understand your explanation.
There is only 1 photo with 1 person.

Can you help me understand your theory? And are you a native english speaker?

@cicerone imposter,

And where is the difference between
"My friend and the person in that picture are two different people. They are not the same person.", correct?"
and your statement:
"Yes, they are not the same people. "

@dylan22,

"Two different people" is self explanatory.

@cicerone imposter,

But your first statement was that it's not correct to say
""My friend and the person in that picture are two different people. They are not the same person.", correct?"

Where is the mistake? You said "You can't draw to that conclusion from the information provided." But why?
