How to Say ‘You have eight items in total.’ in Spain Spanish
Lleva ocho cosas en total.
YEH-bah OH-choh KOH-sahs en toh-TAHL
[YEH-bah OH-choh KOH-sahs en toh-TAHL]
💬 Usage Tip: Here [lleva] is the polite "you" form, so it means "you have," not "he/she has." You'll hear the same pattern in shops with [¿Lleva bolsa?] for "Do you need a bag?"
🇪🇸 In Spain: Cashiers in Spain often address customers with the polite form by default, especially with adults they don't know. It sounds normal rather than stiff.
