Formal:
* 我叫 [your name]. (Wǒ jiào [your name].) This literally translates to "I am called [your name]."
Informal:
* 我叫 [your name]. (Wǒ jiào [your name].) You can use the same sentence as the formal version.
* 我姓 [your surname]. (Wǒ xìng [your surname].) This means "My surname is [your surname]."
Example:
If your name is John Smith:
* 我叫约翰史密斯。 (Wǒ jiào Yuēhàn Shǐmǐsī.) (Formal)
* 我姓史密斯。 (Wǒ xìng Shǐmǐsī.) (Informal)
Important notes:
* You would need to use the Mandarin pronunciation of your name.
* When introducing yourself, it's common to add a polite phrase like "你好" (nǐ hǎo) which means "hello."
* If you're unsure of the Mandarin pronunciation, you can ask someone who speaks Mandarin to help you.
