¿Qué recomienda?
Formality and address
This uses the formal "usted" conjugation, which is the standard, polite way to address service staff in most Spanish-speaking regions. If asking a friend, you would switch to the informal "tú" (¿Qué recomiendas?) or "vos" (¿Qué recomendás?).
When to use
This is ideal when you are unsure of the menu and want to discover a house specialty or a popular local dish.
Word breakdown
The phrase follows a simple interrogative pattern without needing an explicit subject pronoun.
- ¿Qué?: The interrogative pronoun meaning 'what'.
- recomienda: The third-person singular present tense of 'recomendar' (to recommend).
Written accents
The accent mark on "Qué" is mandatory because it functions as a question word. Without the accent, "que" acts as a relative pronoun or conjunction meaning 'that' or 'which'.
Notes
Gets a local recommendation. Neutral everyday wording.
