What is Your Name in French

In this new lesson you learn how to say what is your name in French. There are several ways of asking this question and they vary depending on whether you are using the familiar or polite form. To ask a stranger or somebody who’s older their name you ask “comment vous appelez-vous?” If the person he is your age or younger you may ask “comment tu t’appelles?”

There is an easier way of passing somebody their name. You may also ask “quel est votre nom?” To somebody who is older than yourself for a stranger. This literally means what is your name. If you’re speaking to a peer to somebody who’s younger you may simply ask “quel est ton nom?”
