Máte tašku?

When to use

Use this question at the checkout counter when you have finished shopping and need a bag to carry your purchases.

How it works

This is a simple question using the verb 'mít' (to have) in the second-person plural form, which also serves as the polite formal 'vy' address. 'Tašku' is the accusative singular of 'taška' (bag).

• Máte: you have (formal 'vy' form)
• tašku: bag (feminine noun, accusative singular)

Register and Formality

The use of 'Máte' (formal 'vy') is polite and standard for customer interactions in shops. It's the expected way to ask shop staff.

Watch Out

In many European countries, including the Czech Republic, shops often charge for plastic bags. Be prepared to pay a small fee or bring your own reusable bag.

Notes

Ask if a shopping bag is provided or available for purchase.
