✦Grammar Breakdown

T'asunetablepourdeux?

Contraction (T'as)

T'as = tu as. In spoken French, the subject pronoun and verb often contract, dropping the vowel of 'tu' and the final -s of 'as'.

Indefinite article (une)

Use 'une' for feminine singular nouns like 'table'.

Preposition (pour)

'Pour' introduces the purpose or intended number, here meaning 'for'.

Number (deux)

'Deux' is the cardinal number two; it does not need a noun after it because 'table' already provides the object.

Question mark placement

In French, the question mark follows a space before it, but in informal writing the space is often omitted.
