Italian Phrase
Hai confermato la prenotazione?
Meaning
The speaker asks whether the listener has already confirmed a reservation—typically for a hotel, restaurant, or travel ticket. The question is informal (tu form) and expects a yes/no answer.
When to use
Use this sentence when you need to check that a booking has been secured, for example after a phone call with a hotel, when coordinating a group trip, or before a dinner reservation. It works in both personal and professional contexts, provided you are on familiar terms with the listener.
✦Grammar Breakdown
Haiconfermatolaprenotazione?
Present Perfect (Passato Prossimo)
Formed with the present tense of 'avere' (hai) + past participle (confermato) to express a completed action.
Interrogative Inversion
In spoken Italian, the subject pronoun can be omitted and the verb placed first to form a yes‑no question.
Definite Article Agreement
'La' matches the feminine noun 'prenotazione'; using 'il' would be incorrect.
Past Participle Agreement
With 'avere' the past participle does not agree with the object unless a direct‑object pronoun precedes it.

Did you confirm the reservation?
Sì, l'ho confermata alle dieci di mattina.
Yes, I confirmed it at ten in the morning.
✕Common Mistakes
Hai confermato il prenotazione?
The noun 'prenotazione' is feminine, so the article must be 'la', not 'il'.
Hai confermi la prenotazione?
Using the present simple 'confermi' changes the meaning to a request rather than asking about a completed action.
Ho confermato la prenotazione.
When the direct object precedes the verb with 'avere', the past participle must agree: 'l'ho confermata'.
↔Alternatives

La prenotazione è stata confermata?

Cultural Tip
In Italy, confirming a reservation is considered polite and often necessary, especially during peak tourist seasons. When speaking to staff in a formal setting (e.g., a hotel receptionist), you might use the formal 'Lei' form: 'Ha confermato la prenotazione?'. Also, Italians appreciate a quick follow‑up email or message after a phone confirmation.
