Japanese, particularly those in business, carry business cards which they ex- change during introductions. A few hand-written words on a business card can serve as a convenient introduction. Kore wa Tanaka-san no namae desu ka. Note that although addressing Mr. Tanaka, Mr. Smith uses his name rather than saying anata no, “your.” (See Note 4, p. 21.) Ee. “Yes.” Less formal than hai. So desu. ‘When replying to questions that end with desu ka, 86 can be used instead of repeating the noun. Kore wa? A rising intonation on the particle wa makes this informal phrase a ques- tion without using the question marker ka. Kaisha no desu. Short for kaisha no denwa-bang6 desu. This sort of abbreviated expression is often used in Japanese. 26 LESSON 27. (03) 3400-9031 Spoken as zero-san no san-yon-zero-zero no kyi-zero-san-ichi.
