Would it be possible to respond “Not” if someone ask me that “Do you ~”, or “Did you ~”?
Is it alright that I say just a word "Not." about the question starting with "Do you~?", or "Did you~?"? (Not Are you~?, Were you~?)

If you respond "Not" I would know that English is not your native language. But I would (probably ) understand what you mean.
