Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, confirming a payment with ‘está pagada’ (using estar) is preferred over ‘ha sido pagada’, which sounds more formal and less common in everyday conversation. Adding ‘ya’ stresses that the payment was made earlier than expected. Be careful with the accent on ‘tú’ – here it is the possessive adjective, so no accent is needed.
