✕Common Mistakes
Dame tu número?
‘Dame’ is the imperative form and can sound too direct or rude in a request.
¿Me das tú número?
Do not write ‘tú número’; the accent belongs to the pronoun ‘tú’, not the possessive adjective.
Me das tu número?
Missing the opening question mark makes the sentence look like a statement rather than a question.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries asking for a phone number is seen as a step toward a closer personal connection, so it’s best to ask only after a brief conversation or when you already have some rapport. If you’re unsure, use a more polite form (e.g., ‘¿Podrías darme…?’) and be ready to accept a polite decline. Also note that ‘número’ can refer to any number, so context (usually a phone) is important.
