"Ne" (pronounced "neh", not "knee") is used to confirm a statement, or to invite agreement from the listener. Its use is something akin to the English "Right?" or "Don't you think so?” If you wanted to ask "You will be ok, right?, you would say "Daijoubu, '''ne'''." However, you are affirming to the person that they will be ok, not asking if they are ok. In the latter case, you would ask "Daijoubu desu '''ka'''?"

It also appears in the common phrase "Sou desu ne" which translates as "Well..." or "Hmmm..." and often starts a direct reply, but is used to soften the reply, or to indicate that you are thinking about what was said. “ Sou desu ne kare '''no''' kutu '''wa''' ookii desu '''ne'''." means "Hmmm... his shoes are big, aren't they?"

The "ne" at the end of a sentence can also be stretched, "nee", to indicate surprise or astonishment. If something really amazes you, you could say "Sugoi nee!"
