Exacto!  Le parola "nonne" es lo que on nomina in anglese le "tag
question".  Illo debe esser usate ubi on usa in anglese "isn't it?",
"aren't you?", "don't we?", etc. (o ubi le Cockneys dice "innit?").

"Ille va visitar me, nonne?" = "He is going to visit me, isn't he?"
"Nos ha bastante de moneta, nonne?" = "We have enough money, haven't we?" o
"...don't we?"
"Tu lo ha viste, nonne?" = "You saw it, didn't you?"

...etc.

Le uso de iste particula interrogative como si illo significarea
simplemente "no" es un error.
