How do you ask someone's name in Spanish? 1 point
To ask someone's name in Spanish, you can say "¿Cómo te llamas?" which translates to "What's your name?"
The phrase "¿Cómo te llamas?" is a simple and polite way of asking someone's name. Breaking it down, "cómo" means "how," "te" is the second-person singular pronoun for "you," and "llamas" is the second-person singular form of the verb "llamar" (to call). When combined, it directly translates to "How do you call yourself?" or more naturally, "What's your name?"
Keep in mind that in Spanish, it is common to address someone as "tú" (you) when asking their name. However, in certain formal situations or when speaking to someone in a position of authority, it may be more appropriate to use the formal form of "you," which is "usted." In that case, the question would be "¿Cómo se llama?" meaning "What's your name?" but using the formal pronoun form instead.
