* "Call what name?" or "What's your name?"
It's a direct and casual way to ask someone their name in Chinese.
Here's how it's broken down:
* 叫 (jiào) - means "to call" or "to name"
* 什么 (shén me) - means "what"
* 名 (míng) - means "name"
It's important to note that while "jiao shen me ming" is a correct translation, it is more common to use "nǐ jiào shén me míngzi" (你叫什么名字) in everyday conversation. This is because "míngzi" is a more specific and formal way of saying "name" than simply "míng."
So, if you want to ask someone their name in Chinese, you can say:
你叫什么名字? (Nǐ jiào shén me míngzi?)
