How to Say “What’s your phone number?” in Japanese

How do you say “What’s your phone number?” in Japanese?

Today’s phrase is :

What’s your phone number?

電話番号教えて?

 denwabangou* oshiete

If you want to ask politely, you can say :

電話番号教えていただけますか?

 denwabangou* oshiete itadakemasuka

*We pronounce “denwabangou” like “denwabangō“.

When it is obvious that you are talking about a phone number you can simply say “番号 bangou” which means “number”.


(casual)

電話番号教えて?
番号教えて?

(polite)

電話番号教えていただけますか?
番号教えていただけますか?


  • 電話番号 denwabangou = phone number
  • … 教えて? … oshiete = Can you tell me …?

The literal translation of “電話番号教えて?” is “Can you tell me your phone number?”.

We do not usually say “あなたは anatawa (= you)”, “あなたの anatano (= your)” or “わたしに watashini (= me)” in everyday conversation.


あなたの 電話番号
your phone number

あなたは わたしに 教えて?
can you tell me?
