✦Grammar Breakdown
Hayalgomásquetengamosquehablar
Hay (existence)
Hay is the impersonal form of haber used to indicate the existence of something.
algo más (anything else)
‘Algo’ means ‘something/anything’; adding ‘más’ turns it into ‘anything else’.
que + subjunctive
When a relative clause expresses an unknown or non‑specific item, Spanish uses ‘que’ + subjunctive (tengamos).
tengamos (subjunctive of tener)
The present subjunctive of ‘tener’ is used here to convey a sense of necessity or possibility.
que + infinitive
The second ‘que’ introduces an infinitive clause (que hablar) meaning ‘to talk about’.

Is there anything else we need to talk about?
No, creo que ya cubrimos todo.
No, I think we’ve covered everything.
✕Common Mistakes
¿Hay algo más que tenemos que hablar?
Using the indicative ‘tenemos’ sounds like a statement rather than a polite inquiry; the subjunctive ‘tengamos’ is required after the relative ‘que’.
¿Hay algo más que tengamos hablar?
Leaving out the second ‘que’ makes the sentence ungrammatical; you need ‘que hablar’ to link the verb to the clause.
¿Existe algo más que tengamos que hablar?
Some learners replace ‘Hay’ with ‘Existe’, which is overly formal and sounds unnatural in everyday conversation.
↔Alternatives
¿Hay algo más de lo que debamos hablar?
Is there anything else we should talk about?
¿Queda algún tema pendiente?
Is there any pending topic?
¿Hay algo más que necesitemos discutir?
Is there anything else we need to discuss?
Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking workplaces, it’s common to ask this question before closing a meeting to show thoroughness and respect for everyone’s input. In more informal settings, you can drop the formal ‘tengamos’ and say ‘¿Hay algo más que tenemos que hablar?’ but the subjunctive sounds more natural and polite.
