[Nǐ hǎo！Huānyínɡ láidào HSK hànyǔ kètánɡ.]
[Wǒ jiào Yú Bīn. Wǒ shì Zhōngguórén.]
[Nǐ shì nǎ ɡuó rén?]
[Nǐ duō dà le?] We learned numbers in the last lesson.
Could you please read some numbers with me?
[yī，wǔ，qī，shí]
[èr shí liù，sān shí sì]
[wǔ shí èr，jiǔ shí bā]
The area code of China
[bā liù].
And the area code of Beijing,
[yāo línɡ]. In this lesson,
we're going to talk about telephone number.
Let's see the new words for today.
Read after me please.
[FOREIGN]
You know [nǐ] and [wǒ] on the list.
What about [de] here?
[de] is the most frequently used character in Chinese.
It has different functions but
here [de] is used to mark possession.
One way to think about [de] is that
it works like apostrophe s in English.
So [wǒ de] means my/mine,
[nǐ de] means your, yours.
How do you say his or her then?
Yes, [tā de].
The structure is here: a noun or
pronoun plus [de] plus a noun.
[FOREIGN] My phone.
[FOREIGN] His mother.
[FOREIGN]
Mother's name.
[FOREIGN] is how much or how many.
It's used to ask about numbers, prices etc.
For example,
[FOREIGN].
Okay, let's watch a video and listen to Tingna and
Xudong's conversation about telephone number.
>> [FOREIGN]
>> What is Tingna's number? And what's Xudong's number?
[Tingna de diànhuà hàomǎ]
Read with me please.
[liù èr qī wǔ sì yāo èr èr].
[Xudong de diànhuà hàomǎ],
[liù èr qī liù qī yāo qī wǔ.].
You may have noticed that Tingna and Xudong didn't say [yī] but
they said [yāo] for their telephone numbers.
Why?
In speaking, when you tell numbers if there is [yī],
you could say [yāo] instead.
That is because the pronunciation of [yī(1)] and [qī(7)] are quite similar.
So, to distinguish them, you can change [yī] to [yāo].
For example,
emergency number
in China [yāo yāo línɡ].
And in America,
[jiǔ yāo yāo].
Okay, do you remember the last
sentence in the video,
[Wǒ míngtiān gěi nǐ dǎ diànhuà.] I will give you a ring tomorrow.
The time word [míngtiān] could be placed before or
after subject, but it can't go to the end of a sentence.
Read with me please.
[FOREIGN]
Again,
[FOREIGN].
Let's read the text.
[FOREIGN]
[FOREIGN] That's all for today.
[Xièxie! Zàijiàn!]
