Once you have greeted someone, it's time to introduce yourself. Let's learn how to introduce yourself in Panjabi:


Once you have greeted someone, it's time to introduce yourself. Here are some phrases that you can use to introduce yourself in Panjabi:
{| class="wikitable"

In addition to introducing yourself, it's important to know how to ask for someone's name. Let's learn the phrases used to ask for someone's name in Panjabi:
* Tusi Kehre Shehar ton haan? - Which city are you from? This is a common question to ask when meeting someone for the first time. You can answer this question by saying: Main ______ Shehar ton haan. (I am from ______ city).


Remember, when introducing yourself in Panjabi, use the formal "Main" instead of the informal "Mai".
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Panjabi !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
Here is an example conversation between two people, Anjali and Manpreet, to help you understand how to use these phrases:
|-
 
| ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਿਸਾਨੇ ਹੋ || Tūsīṁ kisānē ho || What is your name?
Anjali: Sat Sri Akal, ki haal hai? (Hello, how are you?)
|-
Manpreet: Sat Sri Akal, main theek haan, tuhada haal ki hai? (Hello, I am fine, how are you?)
| ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਹੈ || Tuhānūn nām kī hai || What is your name?
Anjali: Main theek haan, Sat Sri Akal, mera naam Anjali hai, tuhada naam ki hai? (I am fine, Hello, my name is Anjali, what is your name?)
|-
Manpreet: Mera naam Manpreet hai. Main Ludhiana toh haan. (My name is Manpreet. I am from Ludhiana.)
| ਮੈਨੂੰ ______ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਦਸੋ || Mainūn ______ dā nām dasō || Please tell me your name.
 
|-
Note that in Panjabi, it is common to include honorifics when addressing someone who is older or in a position of authority. For example, if you are speaking to an elder or someone in a position of authority, you can add "Ji" at the end of their name to show respect.
| ਮੇਰਾ ਨਾਮ ______ ਹੈ || Merā nām ______ hai || My name is ______.
 
|}
== Asking For Someone's Name ==
 
If someone hasn't introduced themselves yet or you missed their name, you can ask for their name in Panjabi. Here are some phrases that you can use:
 
* Tuhada Naam Ki Hai? - What is your name?
* Tusi Apna Naam Daso - Please tell me your name.  


Remember to use the respectful form "Tusi" instead of the informal "Tu" when asking for someone's name.
Cultural Insights:
In Panjabi culture, greetings are not limited to mere words. They are often accompanied by physical gestures such as folding hands in a prayer-like gesture or touching the feet of elders as a sign of respect. It is also common to exchange gifts during greetings, especially on festive occasions. Additionally, Panjabi culture values personal connections, and it is customary to inquire about each other's well-being and share a few pleasantries before getting into the main conversation.
