"Tena (or Temna) Pappa (or Pita or Bapu or Mota) nu Naam Shun Chhe?"


Explanation:
What's = "Shun Chhe?"
His = "Tena" (Said casually, if reference is for a child), "Temna" (Said formally, also if reference is for an adult)
Dad's = "Pappa nu" or "Pita nu" (Referred mostly in cities, towns), "Bapa nu or Mota nu" (Referred mostly in villages)
Name = "Naam"

Words here above in "" represents Gujarati words.

So ideal way of saying above in Gujarati could be either....
1) "Tena Pappa (or Pita) nu Naam Shun Chhe?" OR
2) "Temna Pappa (or Pita) nu Naam Shun Chhe?" OR
3) "Tena Bapa (or Bapu or Mota) nu Naam Shun Chhe?" OR
4) "Temna Bapa (or Bapu or Mota) nu Naam Shun Chhe?"

I'm sure above examples will help. Let me know in case of any questions.
