How do you say what is your name in Punjabi?

There are a couple of ways to say "What is your name?" in Punjabi, depending on the formality and dialect:

Formal:

* ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਹੈ? (tuhada naam ki hai?) - This is the most common and polite way to ask.

* ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕੀ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹੋ? (tusi ki kehinde ho?) - This translates to "What do you call yourself?" and is also considered polite.

Informal:

* ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਹੈ? (tera naam ki hai?) - This is a more casual way to ask, used with friends and family.

* ਤੂੰ ਕੀ ਕਹਿੰਦਾ/ਕਹਿੰਦੀ ਏਂ? (tu ki kehnda/kehndi e?) - This is the casual version of "What do you call yourself?"

It's important to note:

* The word "naam" means "name" in Punjabi.

* "Ki" is used to ask a question.

* The ending of the question ("hai?", "ho?", "e?") depends on the tense and formality.

* You can use the gender-appropriate pronoun "tu" (male) or "tusi" (formal) for the person you are addressing.

Example:

Let's say you want to ask a friend, "What is your name?" in Punjabi. You could use the informal phrase:

"ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਹੈ?" (tera naam ki hai?)
