How to Say ‘Do you have’ in German
Haben Sie
Hah-ben Zee
[Hah-ben Zee]
💬 Usage Tip: With formal [Sie], the verb takes the same form as [sie] ("they"): [Haben Sie], not [hast Sie]. You can reuse that pattern with other verbs: [Kommen Sie], [Brauchen Sie].
🇩🇪 In Germany: This is the normal polite way to ask a new contact something at an event or in a follow-up. Using [du] too early can sound overly familiar.
