I may come back soon, right?

Are you sure that it 's right?!!

how about this one?
I may come back soon,may not I ?!
Guest   Tue Jul 08, 2008 4:09 pm GMT
<<I may come back soon,may not I ?! >>

Wouldn't this be

"I may come back soon, may I not?"

It still sounds awkward, though.

I think this one is better dear guest:)

any other idea?!!
Guest   Wed Jul 09, 2008 3:37 am GMT
I may come back soon, mightn't I?

I may come back soon, right?

I may come back soon, isn't that right?
Guest   Wed Jul 09, 2008 4:21 am GMT
I may come back soon, mayn't I?

Depends on what the tag question should mean. The only tagged form that I can think of that sounds natural here is, "I may come back soon, OK?", which doesn't mean what the other examples mean -- here the tag is asking for permission to leave, but the question is usually just for politeness.
