معنی
Introducing oneself.
زمینه فرهنگی
Dutch people value directness. When introducing yourself, look them in the eye and give a firm handshake. Using 'Mijn naam is' shows you are serious. Flemish culture can be slightly more formal than Dutch culture. Using 'Mijn naam is' is very common and appreciated in business. In Surinamese Dutch, introductions are often very polite and may include more formal titles. Even in 'flat' Dutch companies, the first introduction usually uses 'Mijn naam is' before moving to first names.
First and Last
In formal settings, always provide both your first and last name after 'Mijn naam is'.
Don't over-formalize
If everyone is saying 'Ik ben', don't insist on 'Mijn naam is' or you might seem distant.
