| Comments: | Either this gets hugely expanded to cover all the possible meanings and contexts, or it gets dropped. I think it's the latter. |

| Comments: | I think it has a range of meanings depending on the context. Go to https://www.edrdg.org/cgi-bin/wwwjdic/wwwjdic?10 and enter のではないか - you'll see 69 sentences using it, and in very few does it mean "isn't it...?". |

| Comments: | google n-gram: 10346959 super obvious of course, but extremely common and weblio has it. I encountered this as '..nodeha?', which seems to be an abbreviation of this, as suggested by native friend (and much less obvious.. :S), but can't find much about that.. |
