Questions & Answers about Jij komt ook, hè?
Why does this sentence use jij instead of je?
Jij is the emphasized version of je (you). You use jij when you want to put special focus on the person. Here, it implies "You are coming too, right?" (perhaps after finding out that other people are coming).
Why is the word order Jij komt instead of Kom jij like a normal question?
Kom jij ook? is a standard question meaning "Are you coming too?". However, this sentence is actually built like a normal statement (Jij komt ook). By keeping the statement word order and just adding hè at the end, it becomes a way of asking for confirmation, similar to saying "You're coming too, right?" in English.
What exactly does hè mean here?
Hè is a very common little word in spoken Dutch used at the end of a sentence to ask for agreement or confirmation. It translates perfectly to "right?", "isn't it?", or "aren't you?" in English.
Why does komt have a -t at the end here, but in Kom jij? it doesn't?
