No as a standalone answer to a yes/no question translates to nein. Before a verb or to negate a clause, use nicht. Before a noun, use kein (or keine, keinen, etc. depending on gender and case). As a tag question at the end of a sentence, no corresponds to German tag questions like nicht wahr, ne, or gell.
