Numbers 1–10 and phone numbers
Explanation
No new grammar — learn the first ten numbers and reuse "là gì" to ask. Phone numbers are read DIGIT BY DIGIT: 090… is read "không – chín – không…", not grouped into "ninety". When counting things or people, the number comes BEFORE the noun: ba người (three people), hai em. (Zero = "không", the same word as "no" — tell them apart by context.)
Examples
- Số điện thoại của bạn là gì?What is your phone number?
- Gia đình tôi có năm người.My family has five people.
- Tôi có ba người bạn.I have three friends.
