French Phrase
T'as confirmé la réservation ?
Meaning
This informal question asks whether the listener has already confirmed a reservation—perhaps for a restaurant, hotel, or travel plan. The tone is casual and assumes a familiar relationship between speakers.
When to use
Use this phrase with friends, family members, or close colleagues when you need a quick confirmation. It’s too informal for business emails or official correspondence, where you’d opt for a full form like "Avez‑vous confirmé la réservation ?".

Contraction "T'as"
"T'as" is the spoken contraction of "tu as" (you have). It is common in informal spoken French but should be avoided in formal writing.
Passé composé with "avoir"
The verb "confirmer" is conjugated in the passé composé using the auxiliary "avoir": "tu as confirmé".
Definite article "la"
"La" specifies a particular reservation that both speakers know about.
Question formation
In spoken French, a yes‑no question can be formed by simply raising intonation at the end of a statement, as shown here.

✕Common Mistakes
T'es confirmé la réservation ?
"T'es" is the contraction of "tu es" (you are) and cannot be used with the past participle "confirmé".
Tu as confirmer la réservation ?
The infinitive "confirmer" must be conjugated; the correct past participle is "confirmé".
T'as confirmée la réservation ?
The past participle agrees with the direct object only when it precedes the verb. Here the object "la réservation" follows, so the participle stays masculine singular "confirmé".

Cultural Tip
In everyday French, speakers love to shorten "tu as" to "t'as" and often drop the subject pronoun entirely in spoken questions (e.g., "Confirmé la réservation ?"). However, in written or formal contexts you should keep the full form and avoid contractions. Also, remember that French speakers usually confirm reservations well in advance, so asking this question implies a sense of urgency or last‑minute planning.
