How to Say ‘Do you have’ in German
Haben Sie
HAH-ben zee
[HAH-ben zee]
💬 Usage Tip: [Sie] takes the same verb form as [sie] (they): [Haben Sie], not [hast Sie]. You'll see the same pattern in [Kommen Sie?] and [Möchten Sie...?].
🇩🇪 In Germany: Use [Sie] with restaurant staff unless they clearly switch to [du], which is unusual in this situation. It is the default polite form.
