Siapa nama Anda?

What is your name?

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.
