What does the Japanese word Ne mean?

Answer 1

The word ね (ne) is a sentence-ending particle used in Japanese to add "isn't it?" or "right?" to the end of the sentence. ね may also be used in casual conversation to get someone's attention.

Examples

もう長崎には行ったことあるね (mou nagasaki niwa itta koto aru ne) - "You've been to Nagasaki before, right?"

ね、どこか行こうか (ne, dokoka ikou ka) - "Hey, do you wanna go somewhere?"

Answer 2

The kanji (鼠) can be read both 'nezu' and 'nezumi', which in both states means 'rat,mouse' , and also 'dark or purplish gray, slate (color)'.

Answer 3

You can use it on the end of a sentence to mean 'isn't it'. It can also soften a harsh statement.

Answer 4

I think it depends on the context. I most often hear it as meaning "right?"... As in, "Kawaii, ne?" (Cute, isn't it?). Sometimes it means "hey", like in "Ne, Sensei..." (Hey, teacher...).

Answer 5

'eh' as in, "It is, eh!" and 'isn't it' as in "It is, isn't it?"
