I can't find this in ANY of my grammar or Turkish language books so I'll ask you wonderful people ;):

How do you say "it's me" when someone answers the phone or intercom?

For example:

Person A: Alo?
Person B: Merhaba, "(it's me/ it's Amy)"

I always say "ben Amy" when I'm identifying myself on the phone but something tells me this isn't really sufficient :P I was wondering if you should say "dir" as in Amy'dir?

What do you say when you're saying who you are? :)

Normally -im or -yim is not omitted..But on the phone , first 'ben Amy' is said, only if the person cant hear and you need to repeat, you can say 'ben Amy'im'. 'It is : dir' is never used..
