How do I say “Have you spoken to A about B yet?”

Question

Quick question, how would I say "Have you spoken with your parents about me staying at your house yet?"

Could it simply be

我问一下，关于我在你们家住几天，你跟你的家庭说了没？

or does 关于 sound too formal？

你跟父母說了我要在你家留宿的事沒有?

The question above should suffice.

Could I not say 关于？ – Stephen Jul 25 '14 at 8:04
@Stephen 关于 is often used in a more formal conversation. – S.C. Jul 25 '14 at 8:21
@Aldour: Why not "你有沒有告訴父母我會在你家留宿?" – Henry HO Jul 25 '14 at 11:04
Because it seems that Stephen wants to ask the question verbally, or in a less formal way. So I gave my opinion, trying to be as "verbal" as possible. – S.C. Jul 25 '14 at 16:01

Your sentence is OK, except that parents means 父母, so you need change 家庭 to 父母.

And 关于 is necessary in your sentence. Anyway, your sentence is formal as a whole.
