It kind of means 'is'.
Like, let's say you were saying 'this is sushi', you say 'sushi desu'.
If you just said 'sushi'... well, you'd just be saying sushi.
I am cold = samui desu [samui - cold]
This is the post office = Yubin kyoku desu [yubin kyoku - post office]
This is me = watashi desu [watashi - I/me/myself]
Get it? ^-^

∙ 12y agoBasically it means "to be" or "is".
But their sentence structure is different so it's at the end of the sentence.
eg
That's a cat.
=sore WA neko desu
[that] [(sentence particle)] [cat] desu
What animal is that?
It's a cat = neko desu
What's your name? (anata no namae WA?)
Bob desu (it's Bob)
