Phrase breakdown and usage notes

Quick use

Use ありますか (arimasu ka) when you want to ask if something exists, is available, or is in stock.

It works well after naming or pointing at the thing you need.

Chunk or pattern

  • This is a fixed phrase.
  • Learn the whole line first.
  • To be clearer, put the thing before it: これありますか, えいごのせつめいはありますか.

Helper words and endings

  • あります: exists / is available.
  • ますか: polite question ending after a verb.

Practical note

By itself, ありますか depends on context. It becomes much stronger when you point, show a picture, or name the item first.
