at sentence end; used as a request for confirmation or agreement

Sentence Final Particle

Verbs and Adjectives

can follow the polite form (です/ます) or the informal form of verbs and adjectives.

This sushi is delicious, don't you think?

Nouns

can follow a noun directly or follow the copula (です/だ).

Note

When used with a falling intonation, it often indicates agreement or a shared feeling. When used with a rising intonation, it acts more like a direct question for confirmation. It should not be used when the speaker is providing information that the listener definitely does not know.
