Asian people used say, “That seems difficult” or “Maybe” instead of NO. And Americans are used to delivered direct words. so somtimes they are getting confused when Asian people use some indirect words because it's misleading them. While Asian people use this indirect method because they don't want to hurt the other people by delivering bad news directly, so they use phrases for that. They are being polite for maintaining a affiliation.
Even the Japanese people use different kind of words instead of saying direct "YES" or "NO".
So its like different strocks with different folks. Someone says directly what they mean, while otherone says indirectly because they do not want to hurt anybody.
