In lithuanian we have “ane?” which is a shortening of “ar ne?” which is “or no?” so basically “isn’t it?” as well :3

TIL “isn’t it” is the linguistic equivalent of fried dough

And doughnuts, zeppoles, you tiao, beignets, funnel cakes… I would really love it if everybody would dogpile on here with their own fried dough traditions

In Dutch some people often use “ofnie” which is short for “of niet?” Which means “or not?” so “isn’t it?” as well

I bet many languages have something similar.
