Signification
Asking to identify a person, often when someone knocks.
Contexte culturel
Asking '{谁|shéi}啊' is standard for home security. It is expected behavior. Similar usage, though sometimes people might say '哪位?' (Which person?) as a slightly more polite alternative. In Cantonese, the equivalent is '邊個呀?' (bin1 go3 aa3?). Often mixed with English, 'Who is it?' is very common, but '{谁|shéi}啊' is understood by Mandarin speakers.
Tone matters
Keep your tone curious, not angry. A flat tone can sound like you are annoyed.
