How to Say ‘Is that correct?’ in French
C'est bien cela ?
say ay bee-ehn suh-lah
[say ay bee-ehn suh-lah]
💬 Usage Tip: [Cela] often shrinks to [ça] in everyday French, but [cela] sounds a bit more careful or formal. So [C'est bien cela ?] is a slightly neater way to check details than [C'est bien ça ?].
