How to Say ‘Would you have / Do you have’ in German
Hättest du
HET-test doo
[HET-test doo]
💬 Usage Tip: du takes the du-form of the verb, so it's hättest du, not hätten du. Compare the formal version: Hätten Sie nächste Woche Zeit?
🇩🇪 In Germany: Use du only if that level is already established. In professional networking in Germany, many people stay with Sie unless the switch has been clearly offered.
