「Sentence Structure」


（A）
It's a good wine, isn't it?
いいワインだ/ですね。
Ii wain da/desu ne.
（B）
It's a pretty picture, isn't it?
きれいな絵だ/ですね。
Kireina e da/desu ne.

With Japanese, there are two types of adjectives: the i-adjective, which ends with i, and the na-adjective, which ends with na. Both are placed right before the nouns they modify. The particle ne at the end of a sentence, as in the above examples, is a tag question: it asks, "isn't it?," "is it?." "isn't he?," or "is she?." which indicates the speaker's request for clarification.

Examples:
They're sweet oranges, aren't they？
甘いオレンジですね。
Anai orenji desu ne.

It's a cute dog, isn't it？
かわいい犬ですね。
Kawaii inu desu ne.

It's a quiet park, isn't it？
静かな公園ですね。
​Shizukana kōen desu ne.

She's a kind person, isn't she?
親切な人だね。
Shinsetsuna hito da ne.
