What's the difference between ね and な as tag questions?


What's the difference between ね and な as tag questions? For example: そうですね vs
そうだな

Is there any difference in level of politeness? Does one sound more masculine
than the other?

Edit: The examples above are pretty vague (or even just plain wrong in terms
of actually being tag questions). The more concrete example from Amanda S
better illustrates my question: パーティは明日だな? (The party is tomorrow, right?) vs
あの子はたけしですね? (That child is Takeshi, right?)




The particles ね and な have several different uses, but one is to turn a
statement into a tag question. For example:

  * あの子はたけしです (That child is Takeshi) / あの子はたけしですね? (That child is Takeshi, right?)
  * パーティは明日だ (The party is tomorrow) / パーティは明日だな? (The party is tomorrow, right?)

For this usage:

  * ね is more formal and more feminine
  * な is more informal and more masculine
