Lesson Transcript

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}。

Hello Tuong,

Thank you for your comment, good job!

多少 duōshǎo is more like how many, how much, what number/ amount.

Let us know if you have any questions.

What i learned in this lesson is:

There are 2 ways to answer the question

"What is your phone number?" - “你(的)电话号码是多少?“ nín (de) diànhuà hàomǎ shì duōshǎo?

1. 我的电话号码是。。。wǒ de diàn huà hào mǎ shì (phone number)= My phone number is...

2. 我的号码是。。。wǒ de hào mǎ shì (phone number)= My number is...

- 0 is spoken /língs/ and 1 is spoken /yāo/

- 我的 wǒ de = mine

- 您的 nín de(formal)= your

- 电话 diàn huà = phone

- 号码 hào mǎ = number

=> 电话号码 diàn huà hào mǎ = phone's number

- 多少 duōshǎo = how much, what
