You in Spanish.

[Eli]

What I'm trying to figure out is if I'm in a bar where they speak spanish and I want to ask "What kinds of beer do you have?" I can say "tienes" but the waitress doesn't have the beer the establishment has the beer, but then she is representing the establishment...hence my confusion.

Jus' keep on eatin' dem dere clams and it'll come to ya... ya'll figger it out!

"Tiene" or "tienen" is equally valid... but "tienes" only if you know her personally.

tiene

Que alcol/cerveza tiene la cantina?
Que vino hay en la cantina
Que cerveza sirven usteds?
Quanta clases de cerveza hay para tomar aqui?

I am just guessing. Although I speak spanish I never being to a spanish bar and order in spanish.

Dos Coronas por favor.

[Freewheelin Franklin]

"Chupa ma la vergra." or something like that.

Maybe I'm wrong.

"Chupa ma la vergra." or something like that.

Maybe I'm wrong.

You'll be lucky if she doesn't roshambo you.

1. Que cervezas tienen? (Ustedes)
2. Que cervezas tiene? (Usted)
3. Que cervezas tienes? (Tu)
4. Que cervezas tenes? (Vos)
5. Que cervezas teneis? (Vosotros)

It all depends on your relationship with the person and in the country you are in. However, if you are in a bar you can go with Option 1, you cannot go wrong with that one.

Use 'hay'; it means "there are/is" rather than the 'do you have' thing; I'm 8 years rusty, but

Que tipos de cervezas hay aqui?

means; "What types of beer are there here?"

 

[Eli]

Thanks everyone. I like Femme's advice. "Hay" works well. But wouldn't it be:

Qual tipos de cervezas hay aqui?

God, I miss Mexico.

Qual tipos de cervezas hay aqui?

God, I miss Mexico.

If you were using cual, I think you'd have to use the plural form, cuales. In any event, I think "qué" is probably better.

how about

Let's try this again:

What beer do you have/serve?
= Qual cerveza ustedes tienen/sirven?


Which beers do you have/serve?
- Cual cerveza ustedes tienen/sirven?

Give me a beer
Dame una cerveza

But always add please.
