When it comes to doing this right, this is not it.
17 0 Reply"is it" is the whole verb, and "is it not" the unabridged reciprocal or whatever the term is.
12 0 ReplyIt's spelt innit
Or at least that's what it sounds like when I say it
12 0 ReplyThat's because people got their words all mixed up. Back in the day, "is not it" would absolutely be the normal way to phrase "isn't it."
It sounds weird today of course.
11 0 ReplyI know this is a really old post, but “is it not” is also the formulation in other Germanic languages, so we can assume that it was the same formulation in old Germanic.

You can, it just sounds wrong because we don't.
10 0 ReplyIt doesn't even sound wrong. It is something people use. Just not as often.

"That is not it."

I've definitely seen "is not it" used before, usually in the context of things like speeches or rhetoric where someone has considered what to say beforehand and wants to keep a sense of formality. Generally it'll be part of a rhetorical question, like "Is not it better to be x than be y?"
