Answer 1

Hi and welcome to the forum.

¿Cómo te llamas? (What is your name?)

Me llamo Mariana. (My name is Mariana.)

We did it again. Do you use "te" in this phrase very often? - kirk1, Feb 19, 2013

Answer 2

Welcome to the forum. We hope that you find this forum both useful and enjoyable. We have an international community of people who are learning English or Spanish or are just simply trying to help others. Your question is not entirely clear. Are you asking for a translation of the phrase? The translater section of the forum will do that for you. I believe "se" is usually used instead of "te" because it would not be too logically to used the familiar form with someone whose name you do not even know (unless perhaps it was a child} and and with "se" the verb would be "llama".
