Line 61:
In Japanese, there are many sentence-final particles that are used in formal as well as colloquial speech. Some examples include:
* か: question. It turns a declarative sentence into a question.
* よ: assertive. It means that you are asserting what preceded the particle as information you are confident in. However, it is also used to "soften" the tone of a imperative sentence
* ね: agreement. Used when the speaker wants to verify or otherwise show agreement with the listener.
* っけ: doubt. Used when one is unsure of something. For example, 昨日だったっけ？ (''kinou datta kke')', "Was it yesterday?". Often used when talking to oneself.
