How to Say ‘Do you charge to serve it?’ in Spain Spanish
¿cobran por servirla?
KOH-brahn por sehr-BEER-lah
[KOH-brahn por sehr-BEER-lah]
💬 Usage Tip: servirla tacks "it" onto the end of the verb. The -la matches tarta, a feminine word, so a masculine noun would give servirlo.
🇪🇸 In Spain: Some restaurants charge a small cake-cutting fee when you bring your own dessert, so asking up front is normal.
