Signification
Asking about a person.
Contexte culturel
Slovenians are generally reserved but polite. Asking 'Kdo je to?' is perfectly acceptable if you are genuinely curious. In many neighboring Slavic cultures, the same phrase is used. It is a shared linguistic heritage. Similar to Austrian/German culture, directness is valued in identifying people in social settings. In online forums, 'Kdo je to?' is used to identify users or people in shared links.
Focus on the 'K'
Whenever you see a question starting with 'K', it's likely an interrogative (Kdo, Kaj, Kje, Kdaj).
Don't use 'Kaj' for people
It is considered very rude to refer to a person as 'kaj' (what).
