what do we say my name is in French
Answers
Explanation:
Use the basic je m'appelle (zhuh mah-pehl) in most situations. This is the standard way to say "my name is" in French, and is appropriate in any occasion. The verb appeller means "to call," so the phrase literally means "I call myself."[2]
For example, you might say "Bonjour! Je m'appelle Marie. Comment vous appelez-vous?" (Hello! My name is Marie. What's your name?)

Say moi c'est (mwah say) to introduce yourself second. If the person you are speaking to tells you their name first, you can use this phrase to introduce yourself in response. If you said "moi c'est Marie," the literal translation would be "me, it's Marie." But what you're actually saying is "I'm Marie."[3]
Example: A young woman walks up to you in a café. She says: "Bonjour! Je m'appelle Renée. Et toi?" (Hello! My name is Renée. And you?) You could respond: "Bonjour! Moi c'est Marie. Enchantée." (Hello! I'm Marie. Nice to meet you.)
In casual, informal settings, you can leave off any phrase at all and simply say your name in response. The other person will understand that you are introducing yourself. Example: A man approaches you at an informal gathering at a friend's house. He says: "Salut! Je m'appelle Pierre." (Hi! My name is Pierre.) You could respond: "Salut! Marc." (Hi! [I'm] Marc.)

Give your first name only in casual settings. The phrase mon prénom est (mohn pray-nohm ay) means "my first name is." In some situations, you may not care to tell someone your last name, or you may want them to refer to you by your first name only.[4]
This phrasing would be appropriate if, for example, someone addressed you formally by your last name, and you wanted them to use your first name instead. However, a French person is much more likely to refer to you by your last name than by your first name.[5]
