Telephone Conversation Tips Needed


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some tips/translations/links/etc. for basic telephone conversations. I'm talking about basic stuff such as:

Can I speak to ___ please?

Yes, hold on a second.

Who's calling please?

Sorry, he's not here right now.

Can I take a message?

It's okay, I'll call back later.

Can you tell him ___ called?

Do you know when he'll be back?

Etc... anything else you can add...

Thanks!

Here are some things from my dictionary:

喂? - wei4 - hello?

请问...在吗? - qing3wen4...zai4 ma - Could I speak to ... please?

是...吗? - shi4 ...ma? - Is that...?

我...分钟后打回来 - wo3...fen1zhong1 hou4 da3 hui2lai2- I'll call back in ... minutes

他回来时,可否让他给我回电话 - ta1 hui2lai2 shi2, ke3fou3 rang4 ta1 gei3 wo3 hui2 dian4hua4 - Could you ask him to call me when he gets back?

对不起,我拨错号了 - dui4buqi3, wo3 bo1cuo4 le - sorry, i must have dialled a wrong number

请问您是哪位? - qing3wen4nin2shi4na3wei4 - who's speaking?

请问您找哪位? - qing3wen4 nin2 zhao3 na3 wei4 - Who would you like to speak to?

请别挂断 - qing3 bie2 gua4duan4 - please hold

请问您是哪位 - qing3wen4 nin2 shi4 na3 wei4? - Who shall I say is calling?

您要留言吗? - nin2 yao4 liu2yan2 ma - would you like to leave a message?

Hope this is helpful!!
