Vérifie (Vérifier)
'Vérifie' is the imperative form of the verb 'vérifier' (to check, to verify) for 'tu'. It's used to give a command or make a strong suggestion to someone you address informally.
les détails
'Détails' is a masculine plural noun meaning 'details'. 'Les' is the definite article used for plural nouns, meaning 'the'.
de ta réservation
'De' indicates possession or relation, similar to 'of' or 'from'. 'Ta' is the informal feminine singular possessive adjective for 'your', agreeing with 'réservation' (feminine singular).
pour voir
'Pour' means 'in order to' or 'to' when followed by an infinitive verb. Here, 'voir' means 'to see', indicating the purpose of checking the details.
les frais
'Frais' is a masculine plural noun that means 'fees' or 'costs'. It is almost always used in the plural form in this context, even when referring to a single type of charge.

✕Common Mistakes
Regarde les détails de ta réservation pour voir les frais.
While 'regarder' means 'to look', 'vérifier' (to check/verify) is more appropriate when you're scrutinizing information for accuracy or specific details, especially in administrative contexts like reservations.
Vérifie les détails de votre réservation pour voir les frais.
Using 'votre' (formal 'your') instead of 'ta' (informal 'your') changes the register. If you're speaking to someone you'd address with 'tu', use 'ta'. If it's a formal context or multiple people, 'votre' would be correct.
Vérifie les détails de ta réservation pour voir des frais.
Using 'des frais' (some fees) implies an unknown or indefinite quantity of fees. 'Les frais' (the fees) is more common when referring to specific, expected charges associated with a booking.

Cultural Tip
In French-speaking cultures, especially in service industries, clarity on pricing and terms is highly valued. While direct, this phrase is polite and common. Always be mindful of the 'tu' vs. 'vous' distinction; 'ta' indicates an informal context. When dealing with official documents or customer service, using 'vous' and more formal phrasing might be preferred.
