What is the difference between ”これ、おいしいね” and ”これ、おいしいよ” ?

「これ、おいしいね」
「これ、おいしいよ」

この二つの文は、何がちがうでしょうか。

そう、さいごの「ね」と「よ」がちがいますね。

意味は同じでしょうか。　いいえ、ちがいます。

「これ、おいしいね」と言うと、
「うん、そうだね。」とか
「うーん、私はちょっと…。」といった答えが、
いっしょに食べている人から返ってくると思います。
つまり、「おいしいね」と言った人は、「あなたも　そう思うでしょう？」と言いたいときに使います。

「これ、おいしいよ」と言えば、
「へえ、そうですか。」とか
「じゃあ、たべてみようかな。」
といった答えが返ってくると思います。
つまり、相手の人はまだ食べていないので、おいしいかどうかを知らないんですね。　
相手の知らない新しい情報を伝えたいときに「よ」を使います。

まとめると、
「～ね」は、話し手も相手も知っていたりわかっている場合、
「～よ」は話し手は知っているけど、相手は知らないことを知らせるときに使います。　

「ね」…talking about something which you and your partner knows.
               Speakers want agreement from partner.
「よ」…Talking about something which speaker knows but listener doesn’t know.
               Speakers want to let listeners know new things.

Recently, Bai Xue wants to move her house. Let's see why.

Recently, Bai Xue wants to change an apartment, because the apartment she now lives in is too far away from the company. It takes two hours to travel back and forth by subway every day, which is particularly inconvenient.

Going out at seven in the morning, she needs to get up at six thirty and get off work at six thirty in the evening. It's almost eight o'clock when she gets home.

Every day like this, she feels very tired, especially when working during the day, she always wants to sleep.

She wants to rent a place close to the company, so she can have more time of her own. So, Bai Xue has been looking online these days to see if there is a suitable apartment near the company. If she finds it, she will move immediately!
