What is a monosyllabic reply?

A monosyllabic reply is a response that consists of one syllable only. It's often considered brief and lacking in detail or elaboration.

Here are some examples of monosyllabic replies:

* Yes

* No

* Okay

* Fine

* Sure

These replies can sometimes be interpreted as rude or dismissive, depending on the context and the tone of voice used.
