What is the difference between разве нет and не так ле?
When should we use one or the other expression?
Thanks for all your efforts and support.

Hello Max,
Thanks for the comment.
Both expressions, “разве нет” and “не так ли”, are usually added in the end of a question and can be translated as “isn’t it?”.
As for the difference between them:
– “разве нет?” is closer to “or not?”, i.e. it assumes that the statement could be wrong;
– “не так ли?” is closer to “this is true, right?”, i.e. it expects a confirmation that the statement is correct.
I hope it helps. Thanks for the question. Good luck! )
