المعنى
Asking for someone's name.
خلفية ثقافية
It is common to add 'Bhai' or 'Ben' to a name. If someone says their name is 'Raj', you should call them 'Rajbhai'. In business, people often exchange business cards (visiting cards) immediately after asking this question. In villages, people might ask 'તમે કોના છો?' (Whose are you?) after asking your name to find out your family background. Younger generations might use 'Tamaru' less strictly, but it is still highly appreciated by elders in the community.
The 'Bhai/Ben' Rule
When they tell you their name, repeat it back with 'Bhai' (for men) or 'Ben' (for women) to instantly sound like a pro.
Avoid 'Tu'
Never use 'Taru naam shu che?' with anyone older than you, even by a few years.

Smile!
Gujaratis are very friendly. A smile while asking this question goes a long way.
Nasalization
Don't forget the tiny dot (bindu) over 'u' in 'Tamaru' and 'Shu'. It's a soft nasal sound.

Always default to 'Tamaru'. It is never rude to be too polite.
