I can't understand how to use UFCS with instance of class:

string name = "Suliman";
userName username = new userName(name);

userName.name.sayHello();

}

class userName

     string name;

     this(string name)

     void sayHello(string name)

         writeln(name);

UFCS is about calling a free-standing function like a member function. 
The following example makes more sense to me:

void main()
{
    string name = "Suliman";
    userName username = new userName(name);

    username.sayHello();    // UFCS
}

// Does not have a sayHello() member function
class userName
{
    string name;

    this(string name)
    {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

void sayHello(userName u)
{
    import std.stdio;
    writeln(u.name);
}
