'desu yo ne' (ですよね) means "isn't it", right? so can it be used when someone is talking about a person ? :?: :arrow: example: He/she is cute, isn't he?

Jess-chan, Yes! The ending ~ですよね is strictly colloquial. The particles ~よね take away the abruptness of です. -Sayaka :P

Let's get you talking in Japanese.

We love Japanese people and Japanese culture - from riveting anime and comforting ramen to the majestic Mt. Fuji and the breathtaking sights of Kyōto! And there's no better way to connect with them than by learning 日本語 (Japanese).
