Why is it ''benim adım'' instead of just ''benim isim''?
In Turkish language, 'adım' and 'isim' both means 'name' but there is a slight difference between them. 'Adım' is used to indicate 'my name' and it is a possessive construction.
On the other hand, 'isim' is used to denote 'the name'. For instance, you can ask someone's name as 'İsminiz nedir?' which means 'What is your name?'.
Therefore, the reason why it is 'benim adım' instead of 'benim isim' is that 'adım' is used to indicate 'my name' in a possessive construction while 'isim' is used to denote 'the name' in a more general sense.
