सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Asking 'Who are you?' directly can be seen as blunt. Often, people introduce themselves first. In business, you should always use 'どなた様でしょうか' to show respect. Among close friends, 'だれ？' is perfectly fine. When answering the phone, it is common to say 'はい、だれですか' or just 'はい'.
The 'u' drop
In 'desu', the 'u' is almost silent. Say 'dess-ka'.
Politeness matters
Always use 'donata' for people you don't know well.
