Nemáte menší velikost?

When to use

This phrase is used when you are trying on clothes or shoes, and the item you have is too big. You are asking if a smaller size is available.

How it works

This is a question using the negative form of the verb 'mít' (to have). 'Menší' is the comparative form of 'malý' (small).

• Nemáte: you don't have (formal 'vy' form)
• menší: smaller (comparative adjective)
• velikost: size (feminine noun, accusative singular)

Register and Formality

The verb 'Nemáte' uses the second-person plural form, which also serves as the polite formal 'vy' address for a single person. This makes the question respectful and appropriate for addressing shop staff. Using 'ty' (nemáš) would be too informal.

Grammar Notes

The adjective 'menší' (smaller) correctly modifies the noun 'velikost' (size). The grammatical gender of 'velikost' is feminine, but this doesn't affect the comparative form here.

Notes

Use this to ask for a smaller size when the current item is too large.
