Chinese term or phrase: 我给你算一个数。
是 "I'll write up a number for you"吗?好像我们英文里不会说这个。

The only thing I can think of is "I'll write up a number for you." However, I don't think we ever say this in English, so I'm kind of confused.

I count you in.


Explanation:
No, it is not that meaning. It means someone will add you to be a member of a team or an activity.

Another meaning might be " I calculate the number for you". It all depends on contexts.
