Demonstrating an idea at the conference: Opening your demonstration

💬 [Tienes] is the informal "you have" form for one person. For a more formal setting like a conference, you'd often switch to [tiene]: [¿Tiene un minuto?].

💬 [¿Tienes un minuto?] is a very common way to ask for a little of someone's time, not literally just sixty seconds. In a more formal version, change [tienes] to [tiene]: [¿Tiene un minuto?].

🇲🇽 At a conference in Mexico, this can sound a bit casual with someone you don't know. For a softer opener, people often say [¿Tienes un minuto?] only with peers and use [¿Tiene un minuto?] with strangers, senior people, or clients.

💬 When [te] attaches to the end of a verb, English often flips the order: [mostrarte] = "to show you," not "you show." You can reuse this pattern with other verbs, like [explicarte] = "to explain to you."

💬 [Mostrarte] packs "show" and "to you" into one word: [mostrar] + [te]. You can do the same with other infinitives, like [decirte] ("to tell you") or [enseñarte] ("to show/teach you").
