How to Say ‘Would you still have’ in French

Est-ce qu'il vous resterait

eh suh kee eel voo rehs-tuh-REH

[eh suh kee eel voo rehs-tuh-REH]

💬 Usage Tip: French says what's left over with il reste "there remains". The thing you still have becomes the subject, and the person who has it slots in before the verb: il vous reste is literally "to you there remains". The ending -rait adds "would", which softens the question.
