English (US) Spanish (Spain) Near fluent @cuppatea You’re not a student? の方が自然だと思います! Sometimes when speaking however when we don’t have time to think we will say “Are you not...” it’s just not as common. See a translation Highly-rated answerer
English (US) Filipino Near fluent It is natural but it would be better to just say, "No, I am" because the question is suggesting "Are you NOT a student" so it would be a little strange to reply with "Yes." So instead maybe reply with "No, I am (a student)". Hope this helps! See a translation 1 like

English (US) English (UK) Near fluent It’s more natural to say “Are you a student?” “You’re a student, right?” “You’re a student, aren’t you?”
