Is it not [so] or Is this not [so] may be English equivalents of 'n'est-ce pas'. The adverbs 'ne'* and 'pas' combine to mean 'not'. The verb 'est' means '[he/she/it] is'. The demonstrative 'ce' means 'this'. All together, they're pronounced 'neh-spa'.

*The vowel 'e' of 'ne' drops when the verb begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of the drop is indicated by an apostrophe: 'n'est'.
