While the French have nest-ce pas and the Germans nicht wahr, we have all these different tags that make English that much more difficult to learn as a second language. What a pity it has been stigmatised by the antichav brigade ie a bunch of snobs with a trendy new hat for their class prejudices.

Innit is put at the end of a question or statement meaning either:

Do you agree?
or
Are you following me/Do you understand?

Innit has classically been added at the end of a sentence that contains the verb to be, as ISnt it obviously refers back to a conjugation of the this verb. (See example 1.)
These days though, innit can be used eventhough the verb in the main sentence is not a form of to be. (See example 2)

(so stop attibuting it to all sorts of wierd groups of people like for example chavs) Used at the end of sentances in the same was as eh?, right? or you-get-me?

Often used at the end of a statement or word to give it emphasis, and simultaneously invite agreement.

Innit is a shortened version of is it not, in context, it would be is it not? which we can see is a question due to the required question mark and change in the pitch of the voice to indicate a question is being asked. Chavs, however, due to their lack of education (zero GCSEs) and ignorance towards learning English at school because i already speaks it, innit, tend to, more often than not, use the term innit when a statement has been used, rather than a question.

  • (British slang, esp. Asian, i.e. Indian, Pakistani, etc.)

    • Contraction of isnt it, isnt he/she, arent they, isnt there and many other end-of-sentence questions. For greatest effect use in places where it would make no sense whatsoever if expanded.

    1. General positive exclamation meaning yes, I agree!
