What about sentences that end with "non."
In this context, is a sentence that ends with "non" (like "Tu as faim, non ?") considered a positive or negative question? I am guessing it is positive, and that an affirmative answer would be made with "oui" instead of "si."
This question relates to:French lesson "Using "si" instead of "oui" to disagree with a negative question or statement in French"

Bonjour Don,
Je suis d'accord avec vous. Le «non» fait la phrase interrogative; pourtant, Tu as faim est affirmative.
J'espère que ma réponse vous aiderait.
Bonne chance et bonne continuation dans vos études en français, la langue de Molière et qui a été utilisé par le monde français depuis l’époque d’Hugues Capet

Replying all in French isn't that helpful for a beginner in the A1 section.
