Apr 3, 2009 · Let’s suppose that a word in English slips my mind. For example “table”. So, I’m pointing to the table and asking my friend who is Englishman: “What do you call it in English?” Or should it be “How do you call…”? I’ve searched in the forum for “how do you call” and “what do you call” and have...

Apr 14, 2020 · It is in fact a conference call via Skype for Business, that's probably why I kind of don't want to say "I'm on the phone ...". Though, it should be fine.

Later, my uncle sent me a message and asked: "I was talking, but you were not listening; you were talking to someone else perhaps".
Nov 8, 2011 · In the context of "can I call" versus "may I call," and in other examples of that kind, "can" means physical capability (I CAN call, because I have a phone, know the number, etc.), and "may" means that you are allowed to do so (I MAY call, because I am on my work break, so there are no rules forbidding me from doing it).
Apr 16, 2007 · The phrase "call in" means "call into the office". It says the destination of the phone call. It has nothing to do with being sick. People often "call in" other things. You can call the office and tell them "I will be out today" because you are sick. This "out" means "out of the office" which means "not at work".
Aug 28, 2010 · I am not a native speaker, but this would mean that you ask the person to call you using a phone. How else is he/she supposed to call you? I would say that "call me" is enough. If you really want to specify that the other should use a phone, then maybe: "call me up" (UK) "ring me (up)" "phone me (up)" "give me a call"
