  • “您是…” means “You are…”. It means “Who are you?”. The listener should respond with his name or social status. Such a sentence is used only when a stranger has started to speak to you.
  • Caution: “你是谁?” which is also means “Who are you?” is a rather impolite inquiry, so normally one would use “您是…” instead of “你是谁?”
