"是不是怎么翻译？

Question

在汉语里，当我们觉得很有可能是但又不确定的时候，会问“是不是怎样”。比如“他是不是你同学啊”？我想问在英语里，是不是该怎么翻译？（就以刚才这个句话为例，不要说is he your lassmate?)

Answer 1

he is your classmate, isn't he?
英语用反问表示肯定。他是你的同学，对吧。

或者。he is your classmate. right?

Answer 2

这个还真不太好表达 只能用类似先陈述猜测再征求确定的语气了 这个比较近似一点 都是表达了你已经有一个猜测了 并且还比较确定 然后寻求对方的确认，一般都是肯定的确认.比如：

“He's your lassmate, right?”
“yeah~”

Answer 3

I am wondering whether he is your classmater。

其实既然你要说英语，为什么还要沿用中文的说话习惯呢？

Answer 4

He is your classmate？用疑问的语气说，在口语里是可以的

Answer 5

Is he your classmate or not?
