JLPT N3 Grammar

じゃない

N3Inference / Appearance

N3 · Inference / Appearance · plain form + じゃない

isn’t it; don’t you think

plain form + じゃない

Colloquial じゃない can confirm information, express surprise, or invite agreement.

Intonation matters: falling tone sounds assertive; rising tone asks for confirmation.

この店、思ったより静かでいいじゃない。

This place is quieter than expected; it is pretty nice, isn’t it?

Do not read it only as negative judgment; in speech it often confirms or evaluates.

The form is negative, but the function may be confirmation.
