Swedish
Phrase
- Used to ask for agreement with (or confirmation of) a statement; isn't it?, right?, isn't that so?, etc.
- – Jag tror han begick mordet. – Men han var ju på andra sidan jorden, inte sant?

Usage notes
Indicates somewhat stronger expectation that the listener will agree compared to eller hur (and so can function as a kind of reminder), though the difference is subtle.
