意味
Polite inquiry for a name.
文化的背景
When asked 'Как вас зовут?', providing a patronymic (e.g., Ivanovich) is a sign of high education and respect in formal settings. Similar to Russia, the V-T distinction is very strong. Using the formal 'Ви' (Vi) is essential for strangers. In Russian-speaking contexts in Kazakhstan, 'Как вас зовут?' is used alongside traditional Kazakh naming customs, which also value elder respect. In modern Russian startups, 'ты' is becoming more common, but 'Как вас зовут?' is still the safest way to start until invited to be informal.
The 'How' Rule
Always remember that Russians ask HOW you are called, not WHAT your name is.
Don't be too 'ты'
When in doubt, always use 'вас'. It's never offensive to be too polite, but it is offensive to be too casual.

Wait for the Patronymic
If someone answers with two names (e.g., Ivan Ivanovich), address them using both names to show respect.
