Chinese Grammar: Using the verb 叫
 
The verb 叫 (jiào) is used to indicate what someone or something is called, or what someone or something's name is.
The verb 叫 (jiào) means both "to call" and "to be called." It's an easy way to give names, using the following structure:
 
Structure: Subj. + 叫 + [Name]
 
This can be used to give your full name or just your first name.
 
Examples:
我叫Tom。(wǒ jiào Tom) = My name is Tom.
他叫李小龙。(tā jiào Lǐ Xiǎolóng) = His name is Li Xiaolong.
我哥哥叫老马。(wǒ gēge jiào Lǎo Mǎ) = My brother is called Lao Ma.
那个叫什么?(nàge jiào shénme) = What is that called?
这个美女叫Alana。(zhège měinǚ jiào Alana) = This pretty girl is named Alana.
我们的老板叫John。(wǒmen de lǎobǎn jiào John) = Our boss is named John.
我的狗叫Max。(wǒ de gǒu jiào Max) = My dog is called Max.
这种手机叫iPhone。(zhè zhǒng shǒujī jiào iPhone) = This kind of cell phone is called an iPhone.
你爸爸叫什么? (nǐ bàba jiào shénme) = What is your dad's name?
这个地方叫外滩。(zhège dìfang jiào Wàitān) = This place is called the Bund.
 
You can also ask people their names using 叫 (jiào):
你叫什么名字?(nǐ jiào shénme míngzi) = What's your name?
