A1 Expression ニュートラル

Ich heiße...

My name is...

意味

To state one's own name.

🌍

文化的背景

In Germany, it is common to introduce yourself with your last name only in professional or semi-formal settings, e.g., 'Ich heiße Schmidt'. Austrians often use titles (Magister, Doktor) even in introductions. You might hear 'Ich heiße Dr. Gruber'. In Swiss German, the verb 'heißen' is used, but the pronunciation of the 'ei' and 'ß' can vary significantly from Standard German. Bavarians frequently use the definite article before a name, which sounds very regional and informal.

💡

The 'ß' Secret

If you can't type 'ß', you can write 'ss' (heisse), but 'ß' is the correct standard German spelling.

⚠️

No 'ist'!

Never say 'Ich heiße ist'. It's like saying 'I am called is' in English.

Yes! You can say 'Meine {die|f} Katze heißt Luna'.

It is neutral. It works in both settings, but the name you follow it with (first or last) determines the formality.

'Mein Name ist' is slightly more formal and common on the phone. 'Ich heiße' is more common in person.

You can use 'ss' as a substitute: 'heisse'.

Yes, 'Das heißt...' is the standard way to say 'That means' or 'I mean'.

In standard German, no. In some dialects (like Bavarian), people say 'Ich bin der...', but it's better to avoid this as a learner.

It is a 'strong' verb, but in the present tense, it looks mostly regular except for the 'ß' in the 'du' form.

No, for jobs use 'Ich bin [Job]'. 'Ich heiße' is only for names.

It means 'What is your name?' (informal).

No! 'ß' is a double-s sound. 'B' is a 'b' sound. Don't confuse them!
