it's the equivalent to is/are. My name is Kevin-Watashi no onamae wa kevin desu　私のお名前はケビンです。 That is a cat. Sore wa neko desu. それは猫です。 not to be mixed up with aru/iru (there is) he is there right now. Ima asoko ni kare wa iru. 今あそこに彼はいる cutting it off, i think, is usually used for casual talk. The casual version of -desu is -da I hoped this helped in some way
