'Como se chama você' or 'Como te chamas' is the Portuguese equivalent of 'What is your name?' The adverb 'como' means 'how'. The reflexive pronouns 'se' and 'te' mean 'yourself'. The verbs 'chama' and 'chamas' mean '[you] are calling, call, do call'. They're pronounced 'KOH-moo see SHAH-muh voh-SAY' and 'KOH-moo tchee SHAH-muhsh' in Portugal and according to the cariocan accent of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Brazilian Portuguese only uses one word to mean 'you'. But peninsular Portuguese uses 'tu' with children, family, and friends; and 'você' with individuals outside that circle of acquaintances.
Additionally, Brazilian and peninsular Portuguese speakers don't consider the use of subject pronouns mandatory. Instead, the verb endings most often tell the listener or the reader whether the speaker is the first ['I'], second ['you'] or third ['he/she/it'] person.
