SELFINTRODUCTION

&
GREETING(S)
In English, we use a full name or a family name.
Use a full name, first name or short name (nickname)
without a title.

Example :
A : Hello, my name is David Hasselhoff.
B : Oh, hello, Mr Hasselhoff. Nice to meet you.
A : Nice to meet you too, Mrs Miller.
B : Just call me David. And what should I call you,
Mrs Sue ?
A : You can call me Sue.
In Indonesia, people tend to address a person by using
the first name. This may happen because most
Indonesians do not have family names. Therefore,
Indonesian people rarely call a person by their family
names.
Example :
A : Hmm.. Nama saya adalah Rudi Wijanarko.
B : Oh, halo Pak Rudi. Apa kabar ?
A : Kabar baik.
B : Kapan tiba di Jakarta ?
A : Tadi pagi dengan pesawat pertama.
If you want to address Indonesian people in English,
then you should follow the rules of English vocative .

Example : The better one :

A : My name is Rudi A : My name is Rudi
Wijanarko Wijanarko
B : Oh, hello Mr Rudi. B : Oh, hello, Mr.Wijanarko.
How are you ? How are you ?
A : I’m fine, thanks. What A : I’m fine, thanks. What
about you, Mr.John ? about you, John ?
B: I’m fine too, thanks. B: I’m fine too, thanks.
