German
Mostly If someone negates something and you think he ist not right.
For example:
Person A: In der Stadt gibt es keine Pizzeria.
Person B: Doch, in der Nähe vom Bahnhof gibt es eine.

@Piccogeta thanks, but, wha would doch mean in this sentence:
geht es doch jetzt gar nicht
geht es doch jetzt gar nicht
German
@santiagoqueer in this case "doch" is quite difficult to explain. Basically it is used to emphasise something.
You can say "darum geht es nicht" or "darum geht es jetzt aber garnicht " as well but with "doch" it sounds a bit different.
