Questions & Answers about Hast du Geld?
Why is it hast instead of "habst"?
The verb haben (to have) is a little irregular. For ich (I), it is regular: ich habe. But for du (you, informal), it drops the 'b', making it du hast.
Where is the word for "Do" in this question?
German does not use helper words like "do" to ask questions. Instead, you just swap the verb and the subject. The statement Du hast Geld (You have money) simply flips to Hast du Geld? (Do you have money?).
Why isn't there a word for "any" before Geld?
In English, we naturally say "Do you have any money?". In German, you do not need an extra word here. You just use the noun directly: Hast du Geld?
Why is Geld capitalized?
Geld means money, which is a noun. In German, every noun is capitalized regardless of where it is in the sentence.
