The English equivalent of the Portuguese question 'Como se chama' has the following meaning: What is your name?; or What is his name?; or What is her name? The word-by-word translation is the following: 'como' means 'how'; 'se' 'her/his/yourself'; 'chama' '[He/She/It/You] call'. Portuguese speakers aren't required to use subject pronouns. In most cases, listeners and readers understand by way of the verb. For the verb endings tell whether the subject is first [I], second [you] or third [he/she/it/you] person. In this case, the third person endings may be any of four possibilities.
