Any French speakers?

What would be the best translation for n'est ce pas?

And how would one some Texan even attempt at pronouncing?

It has been used in several different books I have read lately.

Well, Adpet or one of the other Canadians should be able to help ya_out there, but I remeber a French teacher I had in HS had a shirt that said, "Ce n'est pas Vendredi?" that she said translated to "Isn't it Friday yet" or "Is it not yet Friday?" - something along those lines.

So I'm thinking your phrase means something alonge the lines of "it isn't" or "isn't it" ????

"n'est-ce pas?" (notice the question mark) translate directly as "Isn't it?"

It may depend on the context but it's usually use to indicate some incertenty over an affirmation like:

Bush est un idiot, n'est-ce pas ?
Bush is an idiot, isnt it ?

In this case, the demander would be looking for an affirmative answer, confirming the above affirmation.

As for a Texan, I would assume the correct saying would be in the line of:

Ain't-it so ?
