Hi Benny, you have for ‘Whats your name’- “Nǐ jiào shén me míng zì?”. I saw somewhere else “Zen me cheng hu nin?” Whats the difference?

Both expressions have the same meaning just depending on you choice. The latter one is more formal.

Hi, “zen me cheng hu nin” means how would you like to be addressed.
