What's with the use of "eller" at the end of sentences? Is it similar to "ikke sant?" I noticed it when I was watching a show in both english and norwegian, and the english sentence would be "Did you even try the door?" while in norwegian they'd say something like "Prøver du døren eller?" Does it just make the sentence more casual?
