What does the Spanish phrase 'Como no!" mean in English?

Answer 1

Joyana's response is, to my mind, the best one.

Please just note the accent: ¿Cómo no? or ¡Cómo no! You can see from my punctuation here that it can be a question or an expostulation, either asking or serving as a kind of "grito" (cry) to affirm what someone else has said.

Answer 2

It means, "Of course". Think of it as, "how could it not be?"

Synonyms are "por supuesto" and "claro que sí"

Answer 3

¡Cómo no! (with tilde and exclamation marks) means: Of course!

Example:

Person 1: ¿Me alcanzas las servilletas, por favor? (Would you please pass me the napkins?)

Person 2: ¡Cómo no! (Of course!)

It is considered a friendly way to express willingness.

Answer 4

It means "of course" also you can answer How could I not? 

Answer 5

Como no means "of course" (and it does not mean "of course not"). It is usually used as a way to answer "yes" to a question, and if you use it it as an answer to a no/yes questions, you are also implying that you would not or could not answer a "no" to the question.

Answer 6

it means "sure" "of course" "why not" 

Answer 7

Also can be used as absolutely! For sure!

Answer 8

Of course!

Answer 9

It means 'of course, and nothing else! Has nothing to do with eating, punctuation or anything else...

Answer 10

There may be confusion in some responses between 'como no' and 'como que no'. The former is like 'of course', the latter is like 'how not', as in a response to "No quiero ir al cine".  So it would be like 'how could you not want to do that!'.

Answer 11

It can be confused with "eat."  

 

For example, friend asks another friend if the friend wants to stay for dinner.

 

Comes?

Como no.

Bueno, comes o no?

No, si.

 

Friend the proceeds to devour everything in the fridge, igniting the ire of the host.

 

Oye! Como comes!

Como que como como?  Claro que como!  Como no?

Como que como no?  Ya no comas! Que no te basta?

Como no.

Answer 12

Of course

Answer 13

It is an idiomatic expression translating to: "Of course!", native Spanish speakers use this expression in coloquial language when talking in an informal way with one another. If you put it in a question: ¿Como no? The como has an accent on the first o and it literally translates to: "how not" referring to how not to do something. 

Answer 14

"Como no?" mean "Off course" and "why not?".

Answer 15

Its kind of : sure! Or.  sure, why not!

Answer 16

Of course!

Answer 17

It means ...of course ...it is usually used in response to a question

Answer 18

 It translates idiomatically to “of course!” Como means how. No means not. “how not“ How could it not be possible?therefore...it is certain!  ?!Como no?!

Answer 19

"Como no" is used when in English we might want to express something along the lines of "how could you not?" It literally means "how not?" So depending on the context, we may use it to mean a few different things like: - how come? - why not? - What do you mean? - How couldn't it be? (sometimes sarcastically, like "of course, right." So this phrase is expressing doubt/agreement and also (kind of) asking for an explanation.

Answer 20

It means "Yeah, right..." and it is sarcastic.

 

For example in this context:

"I haven't done my assignment because my dog ate my research paper"

"Yeah, right..."

 

In Spanish you would say

"Mi perro se comió mis papeles!"

"Sí... como no!"
