Avete un parcheggio?

Do you have a car park?

Pronunciation

par-KEG-gio — three syllables, stress on the second. Double 'g' makes the sound slightly longer.

When to use it

Ask this when checking in if you drove to the hotel and need to know where to park your car.

What it means

'Avete' is the second person plural (voi form) of 'avere' (to have). Using 'avete' when addressing a hotel as an institution is natural. Alternatively 'Avete' or 'C'è' (is there) can both be used. 'Parcheggio' refers to either a car park or parking in general.

Mini Dialogue

Cultural Note

Driving in Italian city centres is heavily restricted by 'ZTL' zones (Zona a Traffico Limitato). If you drive into a ZTL without a permit, you will receive a fine by post weeks later. Always ask the hotel whether their address is inside a ZTL and how to reach it legally.
