We usually introduce ourselves in English by saying "Hi, (Your name) here. How are you doing?"
In Filipino Tagalog, you would say:
INFORMAL:
(Your name) ang name ko. Musta? (Colloquial Tagalog normally uses English words)
FORMAL/ POLITE:
(Your name) po ang pangalan ko. Kumusta po kayo? :D
Vocabulary:
po : copula used to make the sentence polite. It usually follows the subject of the sentence.
ang: literally means "the". It is a noun modifier in this sentence.
pangalan: name
ko: my
kumusta: How are you?/ How do you do?
kayo: You (Plural). In Filipino, to address someone politely (especially the elderly), we use plural pronouns.
:D
