Hot language take:
More languages need sentence modifiers like ね (ja), kan (id) and innit (en-GB) for when you're 99% sure of something but want the listener to be able to confirm or refute the information.
Ex.
今日寒いね?
Hari ini dingin, kan?
Cold today, innit?
Are there other languages that do this that I can marvel at?
