The usage of “doch” Part 2
posted 5 months ago
Sometimes, “doch” can turn a statement into a question. A positive answer is expected then. In those cases, “doch” is the equivalent of a following “oder?” or “nicht wahr?”.
Examples:
Du kommst doch morgen (, oder/nicht wahr)? = You’re coming over tomorrow (, aren’t you)?
Ich kann dich doch anrufen (, oder/nicht wahr)? = I can give you a call (, can’t I)?
In w-questions (e.g. Warum? Wo? Wann?…), adding a “doch” means that you want repetition of an information.
Examples:
Wie heißt dein Freund doch gleich? -> What did you say your boyfriend’s name is again?
Was war das doch? -> What was that again?
