✕Common Mistakes
¿A qué hora viene mejor para tu reserva?
Missing the indirect object pronoun 'te' makes the sentence sound incomplete and less polite.
¿A qué hora te viene mejor para la reserva?
Using 'la reserva' sounds generic; 'tu reserva' personalizes the request and matches the pronoun 'te'.
¿A qué hora te viene mejor para tu reservar?
The noun 'reserva' is needed, not the infinitive verb 'reservar'.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, using the indirect object pronoun (te/le) shows courtesy. For a formal setting (e.g., speaking to a client), replace 'te' with 'le' and say '¿A qué hora le viene mejor para su reserva?'. Also, note that 'reservar' can refer to tables, rooms, or appointments, so the context will guide the rest of the conversation.
