 ¿si como no?... '¿Si como no?' is Spanish for 'Sure, why not?' or 'Yes, of course'; a phrase which could be understood by Spanish speaking people anywhere, but a phrase that has some cultural significance to Peru. '¿Si como no?' might means 'sure, why not?' but it could also mean, 'no, absolutely not!' You have to look for the signals. ¿si como no? It is not 'definitely yes', nor is it 'absolutely no', but something in between; open to interpretation.
