Tags…

Tags are short constructions that are added at the end of statements or commands to turn them into yes/no-questions. Their function is as a request for confirmation. In Standard English the tag consists of the pronoun plus the contracted negative auxiliary:

You know what I mean, don't you?

He can try again, can't he?

They'll send it, won't they?

In Shaetlan the tag consists of the pronoun plus an auxiliary inflected with the negative verbal suffix -(e)n:

You ken whit I mean, doen you?

He can try again, cannen he?

Dey'll send hit, willen dey?

Also, unlike StE, Shaetlan inflects the "be" auxiliary tag for the 1st person singular: A'm here, amn I? (where the StE equivalent would be: I'm here, aren't I?).
