Don’t Forget – いいです
This is your spaced repetition reminder that although いい does mean good, it can also mean “okay” as in, “No, thank you.”
いいです = No, thank you.
If you don’t believe me, try using it sometime.

I think I offended the guy at Jupiter today when I gave him a very curt いいです because I was busy looking for someone. Kinda feel bad about that.

Yeah, tone is so key. At a restaurant today I heard a guy said ビール一本頂戴, which seems pretty blunt, but the tone was light enough for it to be totally normal.
