Ways to get it wrong
Confusing 'descuento' with 'descuido'
'Descuento' means discount, while 'descuido' means carelessness or neglect.
Omitting 'algún'
Saying just '¿Hay descuento?' is understandable but less common than including 'algún' (any).
A small cultural note
In many Latin American countries, haggling is more common in markets than in formal stores. Be polite and gauge the situation before pushing for a discount.
