Can I use this pronunciation 'ß' for which situation? When I am creating a phrase, which of these examples should I use? Wie heißen Sie? (hie-ssen) and Ich heißen Diego (hie-ssuh) Doesn't matter what pronunciation I need to use? Or there's a specific for which situation?

The words are different: Wie heißen Sie? IPA approximately: ['haisen], English: "HI-ssen" Ich heiße (!) Diego. ['haisɘ], "HI-ssuh" The diphtong "ei" is the same as in English "hide". Final e is often a weak "uh" sound (schwa, [ɘ]).

Hallo, ich weiß nicht ob ich deine Frage richtig verstehe, aber richtig ist: Wie heißen Sie? Ich heiße Diego. "heissen" oder "heisse" ist nicht korrekt.
