How do you say 'What is your name' in Spanish?
In an informal setting, such as talking to a person your age, you would say, "¿Cómo te llamas?" In a formal setting, like talking to an elder, you would say, "¿Cómo se llama usted?" "¿Cuál es su nombre?" is fine too. The only difference between that and, "¿Cómo te llamas?" is that "llamas" means "called" and "nombre" means name.¿Cuál es tu nombre? or ¿Cómo te llamas?The normal (familiar) is ¿Como te llamas?* Pronounced (COH-moh tay YAH-mahs)To ask directly "what is your name?" is "¿Cuál es tu nombre?"and the person would answer "Me llamo __ " (his name).The more formal is ¿Como se llama (usted)?...which literally translates as how do you call yourself,and the answer means I call myself____.
