How to Say ‘Do you have’ in German
Haben Sie
HAH-ben zee
[HAH-ben zee]
💬 Usage Tip: [Sie] here is the formal "you," and the verb matches it: [Haben Sie ...?] The same pattern works for polite questions like [Haben Sie Wechselgeld?].
🇩🇪 In Germany: This is the right default with a taxi driver. Using [du] with a stranger in this situation can sound too familiar or pushy.
