✕Common Mistakes
Sí, aquí es un mapa gratis.
Use 'tienes' (you have) instead of 'es' (is) because you are handing something over.
Sí, aquí tienes un mapa gratuito.
'Gratuito' is correct but sounds more formal; native speakers prefer 'gratis'.
Sí, aquí tienes el mapa gratis.
Using the definite article 'el' changes the meaning to a specific map already known; the indefinite article 'un' is more natural when offering any map.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking tourist areas, free maps are handed out at hotels, museums, and city halls. 'Gratis' is the most common everyday word for 'free', while 'sin cargo' or 'sin costo' sounds a bit more formal. Remember to smile and say '¡Que lo disfrutes!' (Enjoy it!) after giving the map.
