🤔 They are both very casual and used in ordinary speech with friends.
"Nah" is like "not really".
Example-
A: Do you want to go to the store?
B: Nah...
"Nope" is "no", but playful.
Example-
A: Did you get your homework done?
B: Nope. (•ૢ⚈͒⌄⚈͒•ૢ)
"Nope" can be rude in the wrong context.
Example- (rude)
A: Do you want to hang out?
B: Nope.
Example- (okay)
A: Do you want to hang out?
B: Nah, not tonight.
