Lesson Transcript

Hi everybody, here's Paloma.

Welcome to Whiteboard Lessons.

Today we're going to talk about

giving someone your phone number in Portuguese.

Okay, let's jump right into the vocabulary.

Zero

One

Dois

two

Três

three

Quatro

four

Cinco

five

Seis

For six, you can also use meia.

For saying the number six

meia.

We use meia because it means actually half.

So it actually comes from half a dozen

meia-dúzia

So that's the number six, right?

Sete

seven

Oito

eight

Last one is

nove

nine.

Now let's see the dialogue.

O seu número de telefone, por favor.

Your phone number, please.

O meu número de telefone é onze, três, um, nove, oito, sete, meia, cinco, quatro.

My phone number is 11-3198-7654.

So for this first number that is called the DT,

we usually say the number, for example,

onze, or here we also have intercept, three, seven, instead of um, um, or três, sete.

okay

So the reading for this one is onze.

onze

okay

Let's see some more examples.

O meu número de telefone é

onze, quatro, nove, nove, três, quatro, nove, nove, três.

My phone number is 11-4993-4993.

O meu número de telefone é

trinta e sete, nove, quatro, quatro, três, cinco, meia, meia, oito, sete.

My phone number is 37-944356687.

You can also say

seis, seis, oito, sete.

Right

And for this one, trinta e sete, that's how you write it.

trinta e sete

So as you can see, the pair is o meu número de telefone é

and then the number.

My phone number is and then number.

So as I said before, the number that comes before the phone number is called the DT,

for example, onze or trinta e sete.

Those are the area codes in Brazil.

For example, onze is São Paulo and 21, vinte e um, that's really the German room.

Another thing from Brazil is that the numbers that start with nine are cell phones.

So this one would be a cell phone.

That is not a number there, no?

But yeah, I can see that from the nine it's from a cell phone number.

And this one that starts with a four or a three, those are house numbers.
