"No" and "nope" both mean "no", however, "nope" is much more informal and should only be used in casual conversations. "Nada" is a Spanish word that means "nothing", and is often used in English when someone is expressing "nothing". Ex: A: Are you hungry? B: Nope, I already ate. Ex: A: Do you have any money? B: Nope, nada.
