Answer 1

Hola,¿cómo te llamas? and that is how you write it in spanish if that was your question.

Yes, you are correct and I agree but shouldn't the C of ¿Cómo be a capital C ? - FELIZ77, Nov 18, 2010

Maybe it should I didn't capitalise it because I didn't use it as the first word of my sentence. - kenwilliams, Nov 18, 2010

But I should have wrote ¡Hola! wherby the exclamation acts as a full stop so it would then be ¿Cómo, good point Felliz. - kenwilliams, Nov 18, 2010

Answer 2

you can also say to be formal to someone you don't know, or a boss, or to basically be respectful is ¡Hola!, ¿cuál es tu nombre? = hello, what is you name ¿Cómo te llama? translates to the same thing, but according to my professor, it's more of saying/ asking what do you call yourself, also its more or less used around friends, family, relative, and so on.

but remember: when responding to the question use the correct response, there technically not interchangeable EX. hola, ¿cómo te llama? respond: hola, me llamo (your name) (FAMILIAR)

with ¿cuál es tu nombre? respond: me nombre es (your name) (FORMAL)

What do you mean by your professor? - kenwilliams, Nov 19, 2010

my college professor, he's from spain, and according to him, they basically translate to the same thing but you have a more friendly/formal way of saying hello, ex. depending on where you work you would say hi, hello, to your boss vs. whats up/whats good - Skyline_TL, Nov 22, 2010
