...right? — polite, seeking agreement

Ends a line assuming the listener already agrees, and inviting them to confirm it: you have so many good memories, right?; this is a Korean restaurant, right?; is 'student' a noun, right? It can also soften a request into something closer to a nudge, as in the line asking someone to spare a coin. In everyday speech it usually contracts to 죠, so the full 지요 sounds a touch more deliberate or old-fashioned.
