Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries it is common to ask about both cash (efectivo) and card (tarjeta) options. In formal settings, use the full question with the accent on 'qué' and the plural verb 'aceptan'. In informal chats you might hear a shortened version like '¿Qué aceptan?' but keep the accent to avoid confusion.
