How do you say what is your name in burmese?

There are a few ways to say "What is your name?" in Burmese, depending on the level of formality:

Formal:

* မင်း နာမည် ဘယ်လိုလဲ? (min na-may bway-lo la?) - This is the most common and formal way to ask.

Informal:

* နာမည် ဘယ်လိုလဲ? (na-may bway-lo la?) - This is a more casual way to ask, suitable for friends and family.

Even More Informal:

* နာမည် ဘာလဲ? (na-may ba la?) - This is very informal and should only be used with close friends or family.

Using Honorifics:

If you are speaking to someone older or of higher status, you can use an honorific:

* မင်း နာမည် ဘယ်လိုလဲ ခင်ဗျာ? (min na-may bway-lo la khin-byar?) - This is a polite way to ask someone's name, using the honorific "khing-byar".

Note:

* The tone of voice and context can also influence the level of formality.

* It's always best to err on the side of formality, especially when speaking to someone you don't know well.
