  1. There are many different ways and variations depending on how casual or polite you want to be.  Here are the most common.

    Casually:

    Watashi wa Miki desu.

    Miki desu.

    Atashi Miki desu. (this is very casual and considered broken japanese but is still used mostly by women).

    Only ever use "boku" or "ore" if you are male, which I'm assuming you are not since your name is Miki.

    Polite:

    Watakushi wa Miki tomoushimasu.

    Miki tomoushimasu.


  2. warawa gozen Miki (May be right)


  3. A standard way to say it is "Watashiwa Miki desu".

    "I" means "Watashi", but there are a variety of other ways to refer to yourself. Just substitute "watashi" with these examples:

    "Boku" is a very informal, very friendly, and kinda cute way of referring to oneself.

    "Ore" is another casual, but it's a somewhat more masculine way of referring to oneself.

    "Atashi" is another casual, but it's the opposite of "Ore" in that it's a feminine way of referring to oneself.

    "Watakushi" is a slightly more polite form of watashi.

    If you are saying "I am Miki" to introduce yourself to someone, there are some more ways that serve the same purpose as the literal translation above:

    "Miki tte iimasu" is a self-introduction, literally translated "I am called Miki". "Miki to moshimasu (moushimasu)" is a more polite way of saying this.

    However, if you want something easy to remember and just say, you can simply just say "Miki desu" and you'll be fine.

    Self-introduction can be done with varying levels of politeness. You should introduce yourself according to who you're talking to. If it's a new boss, you'll want to be particularly polite. If it's just a casual setting, then you could afford to be more casual.

    So in a nutshell:

    Watashiwa Miki desu.

    Watakushiwa Miki desu.

    Miki tte iimasu.

    Miki to moushimasu.

    Miki desu.

  4. Watashi Miki des(U) or simply you can say " Miki Des(U)"

    If somebody asked you " Are you Miki?"

    Then you can say " Hai Miki des yo" ( Yes I`m Miki )

    Here Des (verb) + Yo (assurance or confirmation).

    Gambatte Kudasai ( Good Luck! )....


  5. wata(ku)s**+ wa Miki desu.

    boku wa Miki desu. (informal)
