namae, o-namae Explanation: When asking someone else's name, it is polite to add an "o" before "namae". In general, it is a good rule of thumb to add the "o" whenever you are asking about someone else's name. Ex: O-namae wa nandesuka? Imouto-san no o-namae wa nandesuka? Always leave off the "o" when you are talking about yourself. Ex: Watashi no namae wa Jason desu. You can also leave off the "o" for other's names when you are talking casually or to yourself. Ex: Kare no namae wa nandakke? (What was his name again?) Are, kare no namae wo wasurechatta. (uh-oh(oh no), I forgot his name.) |
