Que tiene
so a customer walked up and i'm pretty sure she said qué tiene? that just means what do you have, as in, what are you selling right? or is there some other meaning? i know this is a dumb question but i froze and didn't know what to say so she ended up walking off.

Yes, you're right, it means What do you have?
I don't find another meaning. |
Que tiene also means What's wrong? or What's wrong with you:o--especially when you say it this way: ¿Que tienes tú?
|
that's right it means "What do you have".

I sure hope she didn't mean what's wrong with you!! I'm so mad at myself because this happens to me a lot. A customer will say something in Spanish and I know what they say and I know how to respond....but then I hesitate....and so I get stuck between saying lo siento no hablo español and answering the question....so it either comes out in inaudible Spanish snippets or in english. Either way they leave. It is so saddening :(

Don't let people discourage you. If you are reaching out to them, and they
respond rudely, that's their problem. If someone asks you, "que tienes" Answer "Muchas cosas. ¿Qué necesitas? |
