Is Jane there?
I heard that someone using this sentence in the subwaystation.
I thought that when I call someone, we just use this sentence " May I speak with someone, please?". So, I was surprised because " Is Jane there?" was so strager sentence to me. Now, I knew that. It was just difference of expression about gap of intimacy or close friendship. So, we can use the sentence " Is someone there?" between good friend or close friendship. And, If you have to do formality attitude on your phone, you have to use this sentence " May I speak with someone, please?"
