"そのことですか" is this some kind of expression?


> よかった。。。って言っていいもんかな

I wonder if it's alright to say "I'm glad"

> 何がです?

About what?

> お前さんは何年追いかけた敵を討ったじゃない

You didn't kill the enemy that you chased for years (or you killed the enemy
you have been chasing for years,didn't you)

> そのことですか

> あんまり嬉しそうじゃないね. ほんと死んでほしくなかったかい?

You don't look too happy. You didn't want him to die?

What does そのことですか here mean? Some そのことですかわからない maybe?

I also took as 討ったじゃない as "You didn't kill" but could it be "You felled him,
didn't you"? I guess the confusing is because he didn't kill him himself but
he still died.




As far as I can think of, _verb(ta-form)_ + じゃない always means _isn't
it?/didn't you_ etc. When it is used as _noun + じゃない_ , it can be ambiguous as
in これは大発見じゃない = this is quite a discovery, isn't it? / this is not (worth
being called) a discovery.

So 討ったじゃない means _you killed the enemy, didn't you?_. そのことですか is an
acknowledgment for understanding what the other means.

  * 何がです? - About what?
  * お前さんは何年追いかけた敵を討ったじゃない - You killed the guy
  * そのことですか - (Ah, did you mean) that thing.
