  • yarb Innit! Aug 21, 2010

  • bilby She hates sushi, innit? Aug 21, 2010

  • yarb Great explanation from qroqqa, although I'm struggling to imagine the sentence "she likes sushi, innit?" ever taking wing in the England with which I'm familiar - which I suppose means I'm a snob. Aug 21, 2010

  • thesaraheffect May not be exclusively British. I first heard this phrase on the film adaptation of Sherman Alexie's "Smoke Signals" Sep 18, 2009

  • qroqqa The key thing about 'innit' is that it's invariant, like French n'est-ce pas, German nicht wahr, Italian non è vero, Turkish değil mi. In contemporary southern English English it is replacing the insanely complicated standard English construction:

    I couldn't find my toothbrush, could I? / innit?
    You have got a passport, haven't you? / innit?
    We found it yesterday, didn't we? / innit?
    She likes sushi, doesn't she? / innit?
    They'll come tomorrow, won't they? / innit? Apr 12, 2009

  • nicotec 'Isn't It'. A phrase typically added at the end of a sentence, usually to confirm the agreement of the listener with one's statement. "You're up for another pint, innit?" Jan 14, 2008
