LEARNING CHUNKS & PARTICLES
didn't (someone) say...?
A rhetorical framing pattern used to hold someone to their previous words or point out a contradiction.
just now / a moment ago
Refers to the immediate past; always placed before the verb or after the subject, never at the very end of a sentence.
Paired with '不是' (isn't it), it turns the statement into a rhetorical question that expects confirmation and puts the listener on the spot.
