Done [JP] Translation help

[achika]

Hey hey, I need help with some words since I'm new with Japanese language.

First, what does どーせ means??

And when there is だよね　at the end, what does it usually indicates??

Thank you so much.

1. どーせ
Type "どうせ" instead of "どーせ" when you use online (google or other) translation programs.

2. XXX だよね
XXX, isn't it (aren't they, doesn't s/he, don't they e.t.c.)?

Re: Translation help

Basically, the way I've learned it works is that "yo" is like a verbal exclamation point, and "ne" is like a feminine way of adding a softening "...isn't it?" to the end of a sentence.
So in order for guys to use it they will add a nice manly "da" in front.

So it ends up translating to a (most likely male) softened but still exclamatory "...isn't it?" or "...right?"
