Well, in this example like is a filler.
In this 2 sentences I would use no filler so it would be "Zapytał mnie, czy możemy wyjść na miasto*. Powiedziałem, że nie".
If you want to use a filler I recommend the most common Polish filler "no". It means yeah.
"Zapytał mnie, czy możemy wyjść na miasto*, a ja powiedziałem, że no nie". "No" means yeah but it can be combined with "nie" to make the denial stronger.
*Ikr "wyjść na miasto" isn't the best translation of "to go out", but it makes sense in this sentence so I used it.

Yeah thank you :) apart from the example I just wanted to know some filler to use

@GianmarcoE Well, "no" is the most common, I think there are other fillers, but I don't remember any at the moment. "No" always works.

There is no such a use in that context for that word. It disappears. In other context it does not have exact equivalent.

As @Xanetis said above, don't try to find equivalent. Sometimes there is none, sometimes it might be 'no' or different word, sometimes special syntax of sentence.

Mostly teenagers use “like” filler and it’s a bad habit.
Good advise would be to avoid it and then you wouldn’t need to use translation.

When you are not particularly fluent, it can help take some time to think :)
- Polish
In such case try to use word “no”
replace like with no
If you need more time say “noooo” (prolong “o”)
Also you may add powiedzmy:
“no powiedzmy.....”
Or just
“powiedzmy.....”

In such a situation you just skip that word. U dont force-translate it at all. The word like doesn't exist in such situations in polish language.
