姓, surname/be surnamed
https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Using_the_verb_%22xing%22
The Wiki says this is a verb but I refuse to believe it: I just think of it as a noun with which 是 is consistently omitted.
Guardian:
“先生贵姓?” “免贵姓沈,沈巍." (this one I almost didn't need the script for)
And the ridiculously formal reverse version:
"还没请教,你尊姓大名啊?" "额...昆仑."
My practice:
我两个好朋友都姓李。
小三爷,别听姓薛的。(from LTR, using "姓“ plus last name as a dismissive way to refer to someone...)
