No tienen mi talla en la tienda.
They do not have my size in the shop.
From Lesson 66:Wardrobe Essentials·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about No tienen mi talla en la tienda.

The word "they" isn't in the Spanish sentence. How do we know it means "they do not have"?
The verb tienen is the "they" form of tener (to have). In Spanish, the verb ending usually tells you who is doing the action, so you do not need to include the word ellos or ellas (they).
Does talla mean "size" for anything, like a large coffee or a big box?
No, talla is used specifically for clothing and shoe sizes. If you are talking about the physical size of an object, like a box or a house, you would use a different word: tamaño.
The translation says "in the shop". Can en also mean "at the shop"?
Yes! The Spanish word en is very flexible and can mean "in", "on", or "at". Depending on what sounds best in English, en la tienda translates perfectly to either "in the shop" or "at the shop".
Would the word mi (my) change if I was looking for multiple sizes?
Yes, it would. In Spanish, words like "my" have to match whether the thing you own is singular or plural. If you were looking for multiple sizes, mi would become mis to match the plural word: mis tallas.
