Cultural Tip
In French, the level of formality matters. While "Tu as d'autres couleurs ?" is perfectly natural with friends or in a relaxed shop, you should switch to the formal "Vous avez d'autres couleurs ?" when speaking to strangers, older people, or in a professional setting. Also, French speakers often prefer the more polite "Est‑ce qu’il y a…" construction for questions in customer‑service contexts.
