Here is your hand:
♠T87
♥QJ4
♦AT985
♣K9

Your LHO (Left Hand Opponent) is Dealer and says "Pass". Partner bids 1NT which you quickly say "15 to 17" to. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) says "Pass". What is your bid?

Answer:

You need to bid 3NT.

You have 10 HCP and a balanced hand. Put Partner in game.

Should you mention that ♦ suit?

No. No one cares about that suit. Partner will set it up in NT. Don't give the opponents that information.
