意思
Asking for someone's name formally
文化背景
In business, titles like 'Pak' or 'Ibu' are often added to the name. You might hear 'Siapa nama Bapak?' Javanese culture emphasizes hierarchy. Using 'Anda' is a safe way to avoid choosing the wrong level of Javanese honorifics. In Jakarta, young professionals use 'Anda' in emails but might switch to 'kamu' quickly after a few meetings. Public servants are trained to use 'Anda' to maintain professional distance and equality.
Use 'Anda' for safety
If you are unsure about the formality, 'Anda' is always safe.
Avoid 'Apa'
Never use 'Apa' for a person's name. It is very rude.
