Cultural Tip

Veganism is rapidly growing across Spanish‑speaking countries, and many menus now mark dishes with the word ‘vegano’ or a leaf icon. Remember that ‘tienes’ is informal; in a formal restaurant or when speaking to a manager, use ‘¿Tiene opciones veganas?’ to show respect. Also, note that in some regions the ‘v’ is pronounced like an English ‘b’, so you may hear ‘beˈɣanas’ instead of ‘veˈɣanas’.
