What does 아니지 mean?
아니지 means "Isn’t it so; confirming that it is not." in Korean.
How it works here
The ending ‘-지’ makes the denial into a request for confirmation, like ‘right?’.
Dictionary form
아니다
To be not; isn’t it?
Common in casual conversation. ‘아니지?’ has a shorter, more definite feel than ‘아니야?’ and often has rising intonation.
When it's used

The line
