Lesson Transcript

Hello everyone, my name is Linh.
Xin chào các bạn, tôi là Linh.
Welcome to the Whiteboard Lessons.
In today's lesson, you'll learn how to give your phone number in Vietnamese.
Cách cho số điện thoại trong tiếng Việt.
In particular,
I'm going to introduce to you how to read numbers in Vietnamese,
some sentence structures and also some grammar points.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
Alright, let's look at the vocabulary first.
I have numbers from 0 to 9, and I'm going to introduce to you
how to pronounce them correctly.
Không
Remember that this one has no tone, so you have to keep it straight.
Không
Right, next one, number one.
Một.
So this one has dấu nặng, the dot, so we have to make it very heavy.
Một
Next one, number two.
Hai
No tone as well.
Hai is like high.
Alright, next one, number three.
Ba
So this one is letter A, right?
So we have ba, ba.
Clear?
And the next one, number four.
Bốn
So here you have ô, nờ, ôn, bốn, bốn.
Okay, and the next one, number five.
Năm
No tone as well.
Năm.
Next one, number six.
Sáu
Okay, sáu, sáu.
Dấu sắc, sáu.
Next one, number seven.
Bảy
This one is a little bit tricky,
so this is a question mark.
Dấu hoi, bảy, bảy.
And the next one, number eight.
Tám
Dấu sắc, tám, tám.
And the last one.
Chín
Okay,
chín, dấu sắc as well.
Alright, let's review all the vocabulary.
Không,
một,
hai,
ba,
bốn,
năm,
sáu,
bảy,
tám,
chín.
Không, một, hai, ba, bốn, năm, sáu, bảy, tám, chín.
Alright, very good.
So let's take some time to review and practice.
Now let's move on to the next one, dialogue.
Alright, let's move on to the dialogue.
If you want to ask for someone's phone number, we say
Xin vui lòng cho biết số điện thoại của anh.
Xin vui lòng cho biết số điện thoại của anh.
Okay, so that is the question.
Now how to respond to that?
Số điện thoại của tôi là 063 3563 636.
In Vietnam, usually a phone number has 10 numbers.
And there's no rule how to read them or how to combine them together.
It's up to you.
Now let's take a look at the meaning of this dialogue.
Let's take a look at the question first.
Xin vui lòng cho biết số điện thoại của anh.
We have Xin vui lòng.
It means please.
Next one, cho biết.
Cho biết means like let me know or can I know.
We have số is number.
Điện thoại is phone.
Số điện thoại.
And của anh.
Của means of.
And anh means you.
Xin vui lòng cho biết số điện thoại của anh.
It means your phone number please.
Or it means can you give me your phone number please.
Now let's take a look at the response.
Số điện thoại của tôi là.
And then you put the number.
Here we have my phone number is.
Số điện thoại.
Phone number.
Của tôi.
My.
Là.
Is.
And then you put the number.
Số điện thoại của tôi là.
My phone number is.
Now let's read one more time.
Xin vui lòng cho biết số điện thoại của anh.
Số điện thoại của tôi là.
06 3356 36 36.
Alright, let's move on to the next part and let's see how a sentence is structured.
Now let's look at the sentence pattern.
This pattern will be the structure that all of our dialogue will follow.
Here we have.
Số điện thoại của tôi là.
Số điện thoại của tôi is the subject.
My phone number.
Là is the verb.
And then number is the predicate.
So it's a very simple sentence structure, right?
It's the same in English.
We have the subject, verb and then object or predicate.
Số điện thoại is the subject.
Của tôi is the possessive parallel.
So basically, số điện thoại của tôi is the subject, right?
Là is the verb.
And then you put the predicate which is the number here.
So my phone number is and then number.
In today's lesson, I'm going to introduce to you three main grammar points
which are also very important.
Now let's take a look at the first one.
Alright, the first one we have.
Của.
So you see that Của appears in Của tôi here and Của anh here.
Của.
It means of or belong to.
So basically, Của is to indicate ownership.
If you want to use it as a possessive pronoun,
you just need to put the pronoun after this word.
Của.
And then something here.
For example, Của anh, Của tôi.
Okay, it means like of yours or of mine or it belongs to me, it belongs to you.
Của anh, Của tôi.
Let's move on to the second one.
Tôi.
Tôi is basically the first person singular pronoun which also means I.
And tôi is pretty formal.
So you only use with friends or colleagues or acquaintances,
but you don't use with someone who is older than you because it's not very respectful.
And the last one we have.
Là.
This means to be verb and this is used to link the subject,
which is số điện thoại của tôi with the predicate, which is the number.
Now, let's review one more time.
Của.
Tôi.
Là.
There are a few things that I want you to pay attention to.
The first one when using tôi,
this is a very formal word, the very formal pronoun.
So basically,
we use tôi when talking to someone that is similar or at the same age as you.
For example, friends or colleagues or acquaintances.
But if you're talking to someone who is older than you,
we don't use that because it's not very respectful.
Okay.
Tôi.
So tôi is like the most common and formal way to say I.
Tôi, for example.
Tôi là Linh.
But if I'm your friend, I would say tớ là Linh, for example.
Alright.
Tôi.
And the second one,
one good thing about Vietnamese is that you don't have to conjugate the verb at all.
So here we have
là.
It means to be verb, right?
And you just need to put it after the noun, after the pronoun.
Tôi là.
And that's okay.
For example, tôi là Linh.
Or tôi là giáo viên.
Or số điện thoại của tôi là.
So here, this one means my phone numbers, right?
And là stays the same.
Alright.
So let's move on to the last one.
