How to Say ‘My last name is Wang.’ in Traditional Chinese
我姓王。
wǒ xìng wáng
[wǒ xìng wáng]
💬 Usage Tip: 姓 (xìng) works as a verb here, so 我姓王 is literally "I surname Wang". Use it to give only your family name: 我姓李 "My last name is Li".
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Giving just your surname is the polite, slightly formal way to introduce yourself at a professional event. People will then call you 王先生 "Mr. Wang" or 王小姐 "Ms. Wang".
