Lesson Transcript

Let’s look at some more examples.
Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.
我的邮箱地址是karen@innolang.com。
(Wǒ de yóuxiāng dìzhǐ shì kēi - ēi - ǎr - yī - ēn àite yīnnōulàn diǎn kàngmu.)
我的邮箱地址是liping@innolang.com。
(Wǒ de yóuxiāng dìzhǐ shì áilou - āi - pī - āi - ēn - jì àite yīnnōulàn diǎn kàngmu.)
我的邮箱地址是 ben@innolang.com。
(Wǒ de yóuxiāng dìzhǐ shì bī - yī - ēn àite yīnnōulàn diǎn kàngmu.)
我的邮箱地址是 lin@innolang.com。
(Wǒ de yóuxiāng dìzhǐ shì áilou - āi - ēn àite yīnnōulàn diǎn kàngmu.)
我的电子邮箱是yl@innolang.com。
(Wǒ de diànzi yóuxiāng shì wāi - áilou àite yīnnōulàn diǎn kàngmu.)
Did you notice how I gave my e-mail address?
我的电子邮箱是yl@innolang.com。
(Wǒ de diànzi yóuxiāng shì wāi - áilou àite yīnnōulàn diǎn kàngmu.)
"My e-mail is yl@innolang.com."
Instead of 邮箱地址 (yóuxiāng dìzhǐ), the speaker said 电子邮箱 (diànzǐ yóuxiāng), which literally means "electronic mailbox," but translates as "e-mail." 电子邮箱.
The pattern is:
我的电子邮箱是 (Wǒ de diànzǐ yóuxiāng shì) {E-MAIL ADDRESS}。
"My e-mail is {E-MAIL ADDRESS}."
我的电子邮箱是 {E-MAIL ADDRESS}。
This can be shortened even further: wāi - áilou àite yīnnōulàn diǎn kàngmu.
The entire first part 我的电子邮箱是 (Wǒ de diànzǐ yóuxiāng shì) "my e-mail is" is omitted here because it's clear from the context the speaker is giving their e-mail.
This is the shortest answer to a request to get your e-mail address.
You should be aware of this sentence pattern, but for this lesson, we use the pattern:
我的邮箱地址是 (Wǒ de yóuxiāng dìzhǐ shì){E-MAIL ADDRES}。
"My e-mail address is {E-MAIL ADDRES}."
