In Spain, for the informal plural 'you', you will hear '¿Tenéis?' instead of '¿Ustedes tienen?'. The singular forms '¿tiene?' (formal) and '¿tienes?' (informal) are the same.
The informal 'you' is 'vos' instead of 'tú'. The verb changes accordingly, so you'll hear '¿Vos tenés?' instead of '¿Tú tienes?'.
While '¿tienes?' is used, it's very common to use the formal '¿usted tiene?' even with friends and peers as a sign of respect, so you may hear it more frequently than in other countries.
The usage is standard Latin American Spanish: '¿tienes?' for informal situations (friends, family) and '¿tiene?' for formal situations (strangers, elders, professionals).
Saying '¿Haces tienes...?' — English uses 'do' as a helper verb to ask questions, but Spanish does not. Simply use the verb 'tener' in its question form: '¿Tienes?' or '¿Tiene?'.
Using '¿tienes?' with a stranger. — '¿Tienes?' is the informal 'you' (tú). When speaking to a store clerk, an older person, or someone you don't know, it's more polite to use the formal '¿Tiene?' (usted).
Using 'estar' or 'ser' for possession. — A common error is to say something like '*¿Estás un hermano?*'. The verb for possession ('to have') is always 'tener'. The correct question is '¿Tienes un hermano?'.
