打?? 给?? what do these mean?
我会打电话给他。 Wǒ huì dǎ diànhuà gěi tā
I think this sentence means 'I will call him' (on a phone)
But I don't quite understand....
What does dǎ mean?
What does gěi mean?
thankyou!
打 means 'hit' 给 means 'give'
So literally 我会打电话给他 means 'I will hit the phone give him' but it really means 'I will give him a phone call.' Or 'I will give him a call on the phone.' Or 'I will call him on the phone.'
打他 - hit him; 给他 - give him
Hope that helps!

打(電話) means make a phone call.
給(他) means to him.

You are right, this sentence means 'I will call him' (on a phone)
打给(Da gei),two words together means call
