How to Say ‘This is the person in room 203.’ in Japanese

203号室の者です。

203 gou shitsu no mono desu

[nee-hyah-KOO-sahn GOH SHEE-tsoo no MOH-noh dess]

💬 Usage Tip: 者 (mono) here means "person", so ○○の者です is a set way to say who you are by where you belong. Swap in your company or group: 田中商事の者です "I'm from Tanaka Trading".

🇯🇵 In Japan: Calling a landlord or management company, people often give their room number instead of their name, since that's how the building tracks tenants. It sounds modest and businesslike.
