Spanish Phrase
¿Tienes la talla grande?
Meaning
This question asks whether the shop (or the person you’re speaking to) has the large size of a garment available. It’s a direct, polite way to inquire about stock.

Tienes (present of tener)
Use the second‑person singular present of "tener" to ask if someone possesses something; in formal contexts use "tiene".

Cultural Tip
In many Latin American countries clothing sizes are often given as "S, M, L" or as numeric measurements (e.g., 38, 40). When you ask for "talla grande" you’re using the descriptive system, which is universally understood but may be less precise than a numeric size chart. Also, remember that in formal settings you should use "tiene" instead of "tienes".
