いいかね

do you understand?

→ 良い

phrase Uncommon #17,559

do you understand? An old-fashioned or authoritative way to check whether someone understands or agrees. Depending on context, it can also mean “is that okay?” or express wondering, as in どう呼べばいいかね (“I wonder what I should call [it/them]”). よいかね is a more formal-sounding variant.

JA: 明日は早く起きるのだよ。いいかね？
