The English phrase 'your name' is the Portuguese equivalent of o nome de voce, o seu nome, and o teo nome. The Portuguese pronunciation is the following: oo NAW-mee djee voh-SAY; oo SAY-oo NAW-mee; and oo TAY-oo NAW-mee. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'o' means 'the'; 'nome' 'name'; 'de' 'of'; 'voce' 'you'; and 'seu' and 'teu' 'your'. Brazilian Portuguese only uses the 'voce' form for 'you'. The word 'seu' may refer to something that belongs to him, her, it, or you. In the case of confusion, the phrase 'de voce' is used instead. Peninsular Portuguese has two singular equivalents to 'you'. The 'tu' form is used with children and among friends. The 'voce' form is used with individuals who are senior in age and rank, or who are outside of the speaker's close circle of friends.
