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! Jean

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

Thankyou, thinking of 打电话 as a structure is useful

in most case, 打 means hit , but here 打 is like "do" in Englsih, what 打means according to the context. such as ,打酱油,打醋,打工, here 给means "to"
