If you have to introduce yourself to Chinese people or those who can only speak in Chinese, it’s better for you to use their language; so you can be easily appreciated by them!
One thing to remember: speak it properly, but don’t act like you are a real Chinese! They will just laugh at you if you do that.
First of all, greet them with “hello” to show that you’re a friendly person. A proper “hello” in Chinese is “n? h?o” [??] from the word n? (you) [?] and h?o [?] (good).
To introduce your name just say:
“W? sh? [your name]”
“? ? [your name]”
It consists of the words:
- W? [?] = me
- Sh? [?] = to be (is, am, are)
For example, if I want to introduce myself so it should be something like this:
“N? h?o. W? sh? Feng Fu.”
“??? ? ? ???”
["Hello. My name is Feng Fu"]
Done? Yes, just that!
Chinese people don’t usually introduce their age, so there’s no need for you to tell your age.
*Notes:
- You better introduce your family name also; I don’t put my family name because Feng Fu [??] is just my pen name in here.
- Family name in Chinese is always put in the front, before the name. (For example: my family name is L? [?] and my name is Feng Fu [??] so it will be written as L? Feng Fu [???]
If you ask me, why there’s a weird line in every word like “?” or “?”?
Well, it’s another explanation, it’s called the tone expression; so it shows the way how you should say it with particular tones.
Different tones, different meanings; and yes it’s another explanation!
So that’s how we introduce ourselves in Chinese; it’s in a simple way but it’s also a common way to use!

Hey, because this is very basic so it has to be learned first
To understand things mean to understand the basic too
From what I know, to learn a language (including bahasa, Japanese, and English) you have to learn how to introduce yourself first.
