who is this ，who is that,and who is it when u answer the phone,and u don't know who's calling u,what would you say?who is this ，who is that,or who is it?what's the differences among them and which one u usually choose?thx.---Using "u" in place of "you" is poor English. Please write the words properly if you want people to take you seriously. ----seriously？！i wonder in what situations would you prefer to use '' u'' instead of "you''现在我想，who is this/that/it.对应中文的话，应该就是“你谁啊''的意思了

You don't say any of those. You ask: May I ask who's calling?

If you answer the phone, you could ask "Who is this, please?" or "May I ask who's calling?" If you saw a photograph (picture) of someone, you might ask "who is that" or "who is this?" If someone is knocking at your front door, you could ask "Who is it?"

Michelle 你好！谢谢你修改我的日记。上面你问道：i wonder in what situations would you prefer to use '' u'' instead of "you'' 上面的Peachey感到这个"u"就是不好英文；他只知其然不知其所以然。每个说话的活动，包含场合类型,对话者的种类,说话的目的,说话的语调等，可能都被归类为某种类型或者是genre. 每种genre都有特定的文化模式. 母语者虽然不见得都有办法分析,但是也都知道怎么用这些特定模式。每个语言有很多genres；这对语言学生来说是非常复杂。你写英文的genre很适合年轻人。美国年轻人发明了一个写短信的方法,"u" 代表 "you", "r" 代表 "are", 等等。这个用法是非常不正式的。所以，要小心点不要用这个genre在正式的情况下。
