timepiececlockWhat's the British - English equivalent of the sentence-ending phrase "you know?"
For example, I would say:
"But most cheese is yellow, ya know?"
Would a Brit say "you know", or would they likely say something else?
P.S. don't tell me "savvy," you lying pirates.

Yes, right
Date: 2003-08-28 03:43 am (UTC)There are two options based on personal experience, right? My relatives from the midlands (Leicester) say 'yes' a *lot* but the accent makes it come out as 'yairsss' very long on the vowels, right?
(My husband informs me that I say 'yes' a lot too - but it's been Aussie-fied into a 'yeh' - with a *short* vowel)
Nearly all of the Pommies I know finish their sentences with 'right', right? But, like 'innit' it *tends* to be interrogative, right - but not always. Right.
