Let's look at some examples. |
Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers. |
我的电话号码是 123 4567 8910。 (Wǒ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì yāo èr sān, sì wǔ liù qī, bā jiǔ yāo líng.) |
我的电话号码是 030 1212 3434。(Wǒ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì líng sān líng, yāo èr yāo èr, sān sì sān sì.) |
我的电话号码是 111 5578 5578。 (Wǒ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì yāo yāo yāo, wǔ wǔ qī bā, wǔ wǔ qī bā.) |
我的电话号码是 9876-5432 5432。 (Wǒ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì jiǔ bā qī liù, wǔ sì sān èr, wǔ sì sān èr.) |
我的号码是 678-4455 7788。 (Wǒ de hàomǎ shì liù qī bā, sì sì wǔ wǔ, qī qī bā bā.) |
Did you notice how I omitted 电话? |
我的号码是 678-44557788. |
"My number is 678-44557788." |
When directly responding to a question, it's often possible to omit part of the response. |
Here by simply saying 号码, or "number," there's no need to include 电话, "phone." |
The pattern is |
我的号码是 {phone number}。 |
(Wǒ de hàomǎ shì) {phone number}。 |
"My number is {phone number}." |
我的号码是 {phone number}。 |
This can be shortened even further: 678-4455 7788。 |
Here by simply giving your phone number, there's no need to say 我的电话号码是, "my phone number is." |
You should be aware of this pattern, but for this lesson, we'll use the pattern |
我的电话号码是 {phone number}。 |
My phone number is {phone number}. |
我的电话号码是 {phone number}。 |
