Asking confirmation in Korean - "isn' it?" / "Don't you agree?" I've been asking my Korean friends about this for quite some time, but so far the answers have been quite contradictory :) I would like to know how to form this pattern in Korean: "It's cold, ISN'T IT?" // "Oh, tasty, DON'T YOU THINK?" // "Funny, RIGHT?" You know, that classic way to ask in a casual manner if the other person agrees. As far as I know, Japanese people use the suffix "ne" like it "Sugoi ne?" to do this. Is there such a simple way in Korean? Koreans told me I should use forms like "재미있어, 재미없어?" OR "재미있어. 아니면?" OR "재미있어. 아니?" But maybe there is a better way? What about the suffix "네요"? Can I use this?

すごいね 대단하구나. すごいですね 대단하군요. ........................................................In Korean............................................................ 재미있네, (재미없니?) 그렇지 않니?

What you're looking for is "그치?". For example, "재미있어, 그치?", "재미없어, 그치?" I think we say 재미있지? more often although it may not fit *perfectly* in the English sentence with the tag question. With 재미있지, you're kind of sure that the listener will agree with you. I don't think this case is where the 네 suffix could be applied to.
