意味
An informal way to ask for someone's identity.
文化的背景
In France, 'C'est qui ?' is the standard for all ages in casual settings. However, children are often taught to say 'Qui est-ce ?' to sound more 'polite' to adults. In Quebec, you might hear 'C'est qui, lui ?' or 'C'est qui, elle ?' with a very strong emphasis on the pronoun. The 'qui' is sometimes pronounced very sharply. In texting (SMS), this is often shortened to 'C ki ?' to save time. This is very informal 'text-speak'.
Rising Pitch
Make sure your voice goes up at the end, or it sounds like a statement.
Not for Objects
Never use this for a ringing phone or a mysterious box. Use 'C'est quoi ?' for those.

Yes! In casual French, 'C'est qui ?' is used for both singular and plural.
Usually with 'C'est...' followed by a name. Example: 'C'est Marie.'
They are identical in meaning. 'Qui c'est ?' is just a slightly different word order used in speech.
