How to Say ‘You have’ in German
Du hast
doo hahst
[doo hahst]
💬 Usage Tip: With [du], the verb comes second in a normal statement: [Du hast einen guten Geschmack]. German keeps that verb slot strict, even when the rest gets longer.
🇩🇪 In Germany: [du] fits flirting in a bar if you're both clearly in an informal vibe and around the same social level. If the situation feels more distant or polite, starting with [Sie] can be safer.
