Checking Agreement with नू

Level 3Sounds Like nū

नू at the end of a sentence asks for agreement, like right? or you know.

How It Works

The speaker thinks the answer is yes and wants a nod.

SentenceFeel
तू अइबऽ नू?You'll come, right?
ई तोहार बैग ह नू?This is your bag, isn't it?
हम कहनी नू!I told you!

With a question tone, it asks. With a flat tone, it reminds, and can sound a little impatient.

It is different from का at the end, which asks a plain yes-or-no question without a guess. नू says I expect yes.
