A tricky way of saying NO which sounds like agreement at the very start. Derived from the Russian phrase meaning "If only" or "I wish I could". It should be pronounced as a firm YES with addition of "leeba" after a short pause (to gain an emphatic effect you can even prolong the S sound and then add the ending without a pause).
- Hey dude, don't swim here, it's dangerous! Do you understand me? Do you speak English?
- Yes...leeba
- Yes...leeba
