| 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 |
| Zero |
| Um |
| 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 |
| ok |
| 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. |
| ok |
| 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. |
