How to Say ‘Do you have’ in Portuguese
Têm
tayng
[tayng]
💬 Usage Tip: [Têm] with the accent is plural: "they have" — so in a restaurant question it means "do you (plural/polite business) have...?" Compare singular [tem] in [Tem estacionamento?], which is also very common when asking a business what it offers.
🇵🇹 In Portugal: In Portugal, asking a restaurant [Tem estacionamento?] is often more natural than addressing staff directly as "you." [Têm] can still appear when you're speaking to the restaurant as a business.
