"Formal expression" and "expression actually used."
My name is Rie Hara. ( I'm Rie Hara.)
Watashi-no-namae-wa-Hararie-desu.
This is the most typical type taught at the school in Japan.
But, this is an expression of the type not so used in an actual conversation.
The following expressions are used in an actual conversation.
|
My name is [your name] 私は［名前 ( Your name) ］です。 |
||
| I am Rie Hara. | Formal expression |
私は原利恵です。 |
| Simple expression |
原です。 |
|
| I am Cameron Diaz. | Formal expression |
私はキャメロン・ディアスです。 |
| Simple expression | キャメロン・ディアスです。 ディアスです。 |
|
| I am kimu jonwiru. | .Formal expression |
僕は金正日です。 |

In almost all the cases the above-mentioned expression is used.
Moreover, "a formal expression" is seldom used in practice.
Lastly, I teach you an good greetings expression in all scenes.
[Your last name] と 申します。
[your last name] to moushimasu.
