How to Say ‘From the career fair yesterday, right?’ in German

Von der Karrieremesse gestern, oder?

fohn dair kah-REE-air-uh-MESS-uh GHEHS-tern OH-der

[fohn dair kah-REE-air-uh-MESS-uh GHEHS-tern OH-der]

💬 Usage Tip: Putting oder? at the end turns a statement into a "right?" check, much like tagging "isn't it?" onto an English sentence. It works on almost anything: Sie sind Frau Weber, oder? "You're Ms Weber, right?"
