Frequently Asked Questions About Spanish introductions Phrases

How do you introduce yourself in Spanish formally?

For formal introductions, use "Me llamo [name]" or "Mi nombre es [name]" followed by "Mucho gusto" (Nice to meet you). Add your profession or context: "Soy [profession]" or "Trabajo en [company/field]".

What's the difference between tú and usted in introductions?

Use "tú" with friends, family, children, and peers in casual settings. Use "usted" for elders, authority figures, professionals, customers, or anyone you're meeting for the first time in formal contexts. When in doubt, start with "usted" - people will tell you if they prefer "tú".

How do you introduce someone else in Spanish?

Use "Te presento a..." (informal) or "Le presento a..." (formal) followed by the person's name. For example: "Te presento a mi amigo Carlos" (I'd like you to meet my friend Carlos).
