Spanish Phrase
¿Te llegó el correo de confirmación?
Meaning
The speaker is asking whether the listener has received the confirmation email that was sent, usually after a registration, purchase, or appointment. It implies that the email contains important details that the listener should have.
When to use
Use this question right after you have sent a confirmation email, whether in a customer‑service chat, a professional email thread, or a casual conversation with a friend who just signed up for something. It works in both formal and informal settings, but you can adjust the register (see alternatives).

✕Common Mistakes
¿Te llegó el correo?
Do not use ‘llegó’ with a direct object pronoun; the subject must be the email, not the person.
¿Te llegó el confirmación correo?
Avoid swapping the order to ‘el confirmación correo’; adjectives and nouns keep their normal order in Spanish.
¿Le llegó el correo de confirmación?
In very formal writing you should replace ‘te’ with the formal ‘le’ or the impersonal ‘ha recibido’.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, confirming receipt of an email is a sign of professionalism. In formal contexts (e.g., with clients or senior managers) you might prefer the more formal ‘¿Ha recibido el correo de confirmación?’ or add a polite phrase like ‘por favor avíseme’. In Latin America, ‘email’ (pronounced ‘í‑mail’) is also widely accepted, while in Spain ‘correo electrónico’ is more common.
