na vs. ne

[Kenjhee]

What's the difference between "na" vs. "ne" as a sentence ending?

[bwfc123]

For their most simple usages:
na emphasizes the sentence e.g. ikitai na - (I) really want to go
ne seeks agreement from the other party e.g. ikitai ne - I/you want to go, right? or Don't you want to go?

Makes sense. Thank you!

Thank you for helping Kevinka san,
I would add a bit more.

Kevinka san,
The last particle ne has some functions.
ね (ne) At the end of a sentence to confirm a statement
ね (ne) At the end of a sentence to soften a request or suggestion
ね (ne) At the end of a sentence to indicate a reason or cause

Na also has them below.
な (na) At the end of a sentence and used by men to confirm a statement
な (na) At the end of a sentence to express a prohibition, used by men

Is it na or naa?
Naa is also one of last particles.
なあ (naa) At the end of a sentence to express emotion, used by men
なあ (naa) At the end of a sentence to express a desire

I hope it could be helpful.
