How to Say ‘Wouldn't you have anything inside?’ in Portuguese

Não teria nada lá dentro?

NOWN teh-ree-ah NAH-dah lah DEN-troo

[NOWN teh-ree-ah NAH-dah lah DEN-troo]

💬 Usage Tip: The verb form teria "would have" softens the request, and Portuguese happily stacks negatives: não ... nada means "not anything", not a double cancel.
