Answer

Hi, Kelli :)

How about saying "(word/phrase)は、日本語で何と言いますか？" (=(word/phase)wa nihongo de nanto iimasuka?"

何て言いますか？(nante iimasuka?) is also pretty fine to ask someone, but it's less formal (or more spoken language) compared to 何と.

Hope it helps. Please feel free to ask me if you have further questions.
