✦Grammar Breakdown
Ouimoic'estSusannuméro12
Oui
The standard word for “yes” in French, used to confirm or agree.
moi
Stressed pronoun used after “c’est” to emphasize who is speaking; it is not the subject of the verb.
c’est
Contraction of “cela est”; in introductions it works like “it’s” or “that’s” and is followed by a name or description.
Susan
A proper name; French speakers keep the original pronunciation but may adapt it slightly (e.g., /sy.zɑ̃/).
numéro
Noun meaning “number”; often used when giving a seat, roll‑call, or queue position.
12
Cardinal number; French numbers are pronounced as a single word (douze).

Enchanté, Susan ! Je suis Pierre, numéro 7.
Nice to meet you, Susan! I'm Pierre, number 7.
✕Common Mistakes
Je suis Susan, numéro 12.
Use “Je m’appelle Susan” or “C’est Susan”; “je suis” is used for professions or nationalities, not for names.
Moi c’est Susan, numéro 12.
The correct order is “moi, c’est …” with a comma or pause; saying “moi c’est” without pause sounds unnatural.

C’est Susan, numéro 12.
It’s Susan, number 12.
Moi, c’est Susan, le douze.
Me, it’s Susan, the twelfth.
Cultural Tip
In French, “c’est + name” is perfectly natural in spoken, informal French, especially when you want to stress the name. For a more formal introduction, say “Je m’appelle Susan.” Also, remember that the stressed pronoun “moi” is used only after “c’est” or “c’est à moi,” not as the subject of a verb.
