Ask a person's name in respected way



When you ask the elders' name, use: 您贵姓?
It is a way of asking family name. Chinese people always ask respected people for family name and then add the working position after it. Such as 李先生 Mr. Lee, 长老师 teacher Zhang, etc...
The answer is: 我姓+surname。我姓李:My surname is Lee, and sometimes he/she also tell his/her full name after that, 我叫李长河: My full name is Lee Chang He, when you want to tell someone your full name, say: 我叫+your full name
