ね (ne).

Because it's a cool way to end a sentence in Japanese.

そのいえは大きいですね。
so-no-i-e-wa-oo-ki-i-de-su-ne.
That house is big ね。
That house is big isn't it.

How do you feel about the Canadian "eh?" or the British "innit?"

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I will now read every Japanese sentence ending in ね as "innit?"

[-] stembolts@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

I cannot think of a case where that doesn't work, lol. Perfect.

I'm a fan of the British "yhu-no"

I never liked the Glaswegian "but". Silly way to end a sentence but

I hate the British one, indifferent about Canada.
No idea why..

This may not make any sense, I'm working it out as I type this.. but British slang is so "sharp" and more aggressive sounding than.. whatever my brain thinks other languages sound like..

Anyway pretty sure it just means I'm an anti-Britite racist. Damnit, found out I'm a racist again.
