Question for German speakers.

[Decepto]

Hello,

Quick question concerning German.

A lot of time during casual conversation, I'll hear german speakers say "Ya" at the end of their sentences. I figured it was just like "Right" in english. For example, "You like it, right?".

But many of the times, it seems to be used to declarative statements, and not questions. Or even in commands.

Could anyone here explain the usage of "ya" at the end of sentences?

Thanks.

Not in the US. I think that's more of a "european english" thing.

But thanks for the help. I figured that's what it was like.

guess it's more like english question tag.
"u like mnml,don't you?"
might be wrong though

It also stands for "yes"(Ja).
(that was my minute for obvious statement)

actually that '"ja" has no real meaning. it's just meant to enforce something ...
