yes-no question
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yes-no_question

Ends a sentence as a rhetorical question or similar meaning (as in "You sure are broke, eh/ain'cha?"). This is a shortening of the sentence-ending "ĉu ne" but it has a slightly different meaning/feeling and seems to be used mostly by people in their 30's and younger.
