你覺得冇乜嘢吖嘛?

Are you feeling ok?

I feel like this is a bad translation.......

冇,冇乜嘢。
No, No I'm not.

Now it really seems wrong....

你覺得冇乜嘢吖嘛?

冇乜 = nothing much
冇乜嘢 = there's nothing much of it
你覺得冇乜嘢 = what you feel is that there's nothing much of it
你覺得冇乜嘢吖嘛?= What you feel is that there's nothing much of it, right? (literal translation)

冇,冇乜嘢。
No, nothing much [of it]. (literal translation)

So "你覺得冇乜嘢吖嘛?" means "Are you all right/okay?
and "冇,冇乜嘢。" means " I'm all right/okay (but may not be perfectly all right).
