How to Say ‘What is your phone number?’ in Simplified Chinese

你的电话号码是多少?

nǐ de diàn huà hào mǎ shì duō shǎo

[nǐ duh diànhuà hàomǎ shir dwaw-shaow]

💬 Usage Tip: Chinese asks "your phone number is how much": the question word goes in the same spot the answer will fill.

🇨🇳 In China: When reading phone numbers aloud, people say each digit separately, and 一 is usually said (yāo) so it isn't confused with 七 (qī).
