my name is
Adım ... / My name is ....
Sin. : Singular
Pl. : Plural
Frm: Formal
Inf: Informal
Vocabulary
Ad: name
ad-ım: my name
ad-ın: your name (Sin.)
ad-ınız: your name (Pl. and Frm. Sin.)
ne: what
adın ne?: what's your name?
adınız ne: whats your name? (Pl. and Frm. Sin.)
ben: I
ben-im: my
sen: you (Sin.)
sen-in: your
siz: you (Pl. and Frm. Sin.)
siz-in: your
memnun: glad
ol- : to be
memnun oldum: nice to meet you, glad to meet you
affedersiniz: excuse me
My name is Ayşe
Benim Adım Ayşe = My name is Ayşe.
Adım Ayşe= My name is Ayşe
You can say "benim adım" or only "adım". You don't have to use "benim" if you don't want to emphasize that the name is yours. Because the ending "-ım" we added to "ad" noun makes it already "my name". It's possesive.
What is your name?
Adın ne? (What's your name? , informal)
Senin adın ne? (What's your name?, informal with emphasized "you")
Adınız ne? (What's your name?, formal)
Sizin adınız ne? (What's your name?, formal with emphasized "you")
Dialog (Frm.)
Ayşe and John meets and greets each other. They ask each other for their names.
John: Affedersiniz. Adınız ne?
Excuse me, Whats your name?
Ayşe: Adım Ayşe, sizin adınız ne?
My name is Ayşe. What's your name?
John: Adım John. Memnun oldum.
My name is John. Nice to meet you.
Ayşe: Ben de memnun oldum.
Nice to meet you too.
If you say your name and ask for the other person's name, first you say yours. Then you ask to other person by using "senin adın ne?" or "sizin adınız ne?". You emphasize on "you" by doing this. If you did'nt say your name before asking others name, you should say only "adın ne?" or "adınız ne?"
Dialog (Inf.)
Ayşe: Merhaba! Ben Ayşe. Senin adın ne?
Hello! I'm Ayşe. What's your name?
John: Adım John.
My name is John.
Ayşe: Memnun oldum John.
Nice to meet you John.
John: Ben de memnun oldum Ayşe.
Nice to meet you too Ayşe
