My prof usually says "jain", which is "ja" and "nein" merged.

I think op is taking about a situation where a statement/question is partially true, but also partially untrue. Like "Do some things fall faster than other things because they're heavier?" The answer is "kinda but not really".

"In an atmosphere" is the proper response to that question because it isn't kinda true, it is entirely context dependent.

In the US it's common to say "Yeah no".

Cracks_InTheWalls 4 points a year ago

It's common to say it in Canada too, but it can either mean no, yes, or simply be a placeholder phrase.

It's the Schrödinger's Cat of utterances - you don't know which it is until the sentence is finished/you elucidate from the broader conversational context.

I think a fitting substitute would be Jein/Jain, coming from combining Ja(Yes) with Nein(No). Although I feel it doesn't perfectly match the 'but' part, It feels close enough that it's the only thing I could think of.

When sticking to German I would rather suggest a slightly bored mumbeld "Jooaa..."

Jein is different.

"Doch" is more like a logical "not" (¬).

Example:

Alice: "Bob, you don't like apples. Bob: "Doch" (Bob likes apples)

I've always thought of doch as an affirmative where a negative was expected.

I don't think its about the expectation of a negative, but rather it specifically disagrees with a previous negative, saying it is in fact positive. Doesn't work with disagreement in general, only when the challenged statement was negative.

I do think it depends heavily on inflection.

It's got to have that friendly familiar drawn out "fuuuuuuck you" that connotes "yes, you're right", "I disagree", and "fuck you" simultaneously.
