konnen dass ādochā sein?
Hi!
eine gute Frage!
The ask is linking to this post:
It is the case that we sometimes use doch in questions like this, but not in the position and usage of "-ne"/-innit.
Instead, that reassurance-seeking in German works via "oder?" (lit. "or?") or "nicht?" (lit. "not?")
Standard English: Itās cold, isnāt it?
Japanese: Samui desu ne?
German: Es ist kalt, oder? / Es ist kalt, nicht?
(the "nicht" in colloquial language frequently gets shortened to "nich?" or "ne?" [nÉ])
Doch is likely to appear in these sentences, because one of its usecases is expressing the speaker's hope for a yes in yes-or-no questions
see dwds
So you're likely to see "doch" and "oder?"/"nicht?" together:
Es ist noch nicht sieben Uhr, oder? (read as: what time is it? I suspect it's before 7)
Es ist doch noch nicht sieben Uhr, oder? (read as: plz plz tell me it's not seven o'clock yet)
Du hast doch den Briefkasten geleert, nicht? (read as: plz plz tell me you checked the mailbox)
Hope this helps! :)
List of Modal Particles in German (Modalpartikeln)
i.e. tone indicators (halt, schon, doch, ja,...)
Modal particles are words that don't really have a meaning when they're isolated but change the tone of a sentence. Confusingly, most modal particles have a homonym belonging to a different word class. (e.g. "aber" is also a conjunction meaning 'but') They're very common in German, especially spoken German.
This list is incomplete.
That's a big cake.
Das ist ein groĆer Kuchen.
halt: "Das ist halt ein groĆer Kuchen."
-> Well, it's a big cake. We both know that's simply what big cakes are like.
or "Kuchen sind halt zu groĆ."
-> Resignation about the fact cakes are too big in general.
eben: "Das ist eben ein groĆer Kuchen."
-> same as "halt" (very tiny nuance: 'halt' implies the statement is plausible, 'eben' that it's evident, so 'eben' is more apodictic) [2]
nun mal: "Das ist nun mal ein groĆer Kuchen."
