Elhayym cool thanks. Um. so i guess we all know what wa and desu mean. desu ka is like a question. desu yo is for sure and desu ne, is like isn't it? or so it is...like soo desu ne. otenki ga atsui desu ne. (hope that's right) ga and wa are sometimes confusing...like ga hoshi(i) and ga suki. i guess you just have to memorize when to use ga?
From what I know, "yo" is a sentence ender that makes your statement more assertive.
That watch is expensive. = sono tokei wa takai desu. ...as opposed to... That watch is expensive! = sono tokei wa takai desu yo.
"ne" is a sentence ender that seeks approval. Yes, it can mean "right?" or "isn't it?". Your example is correct.
The weather is hot, huh? = otenki ga atsui desu ne.
But "ne" can also make your statement for friendly. For example, I've had penpals who have said "arigatou ne". Of course, that can't actually mean, "thanks, isn't it?" or "thanks, huh?". The "ne" is there for friendliness.
As for "ga", this is confusing for beginners. Even I had problems with this. You don't need to memorize when to use "ga". "ga" is a subject marker, just like "wo" is an object marker. "wa" is the topic marker. One technique to differentiate "wa" and "ga" is to equate "wa" as "As for...". For example:
Kanojo wa utsukushii desu. = As for her, beautiful. = She is beautiful.
kono kabanwa yasui desu. = As for this bag, cheap. = This bag is cheap.
Now let's use a sentence with "wa" and "ga".
watashi wa anata ga suki desu. = As for me, you, I like. = I like you.
Other uses of "ga" include emphasis.
I am Meriru. = watashi wa Meriru desu. I am Meriru. = watashi ga Meriru desu.
In the first sentence, think about me answering the question, "Who are you?". In the second sentence, I am answering the question, "Who is Meriru?"
I hope I answered your questions. "ga" is actually a hard particle to learn really. It took me a long time to finally get it.
