!! Meaning of 'ne'
''Ne'' is an extremely common word in Japanese conversation and doesn't have a strict definition
(though it's sometimes translated as "isn't it?"), any more than 'eh' does in Canadian English.
As a ''particle'' it fulfills a similar place in the language, acting as a "softener" or lubricant
to conversation, a way to both indicate and query a common agreement or understanding of what's
being said.
Ne doesn't suggest a question per se (that would be 'ka' ("か") in Japanese), it
politely suggests that the speaker and listener are in agreement. But ne can also be used as a
greeting, as "um", abused as valley girls say "like"; with a change of tone of voice it can mean
"really?!" or "excuse me". It's a very flexible word.
