Voici votre étiquette de bagages ?
Is this your luggage tag?
Oui, voilà mon étiquette de bagages.
Yes, here’s my luggage tag.
✕Common Mistakes
Oui, voici mon étiquette de bagages.
“Voici” is used for items close to the speaker; the luggage tag is being handed over, so “voilà” is more natural.
Oui, c’est mon étiquette de bagages.
“C’est” translates to “it is”, which changes the focus from presenting the item to describing it.
Oui, voilà ma étiquette de bagages.
“Étiquette” is feminine; the possessive must agree: “ma étiquette” is incorrect, use “mon” because the noun starts with a vowel sound.

Cultural Tip
In French, “voilà” points to something you are presenting, while “voici” points to something that is close to you. At an airport you’ll often hear staff say “voilà votre carte d’embarquement” (here’s your boarding pass). Using the correct demonstrative shows a native‑like command of nuance. Also, keep a polite tone; a simple “Oui, voilà…” is perfectly acceptable and sounds courteous.
