"A ház magas."

Translation: The house is tall.

[MitosisByProxy]

Why not 'the tall house'?

[ataltane]

I believe that would be 'a magas ház'

[Rashad89]

Can't it be translated as "The house is big"?

[Stuttgart3]

No, big means nagy.

[Rashad89]

Thank you!

Can we also use magas in that way to say a child grew up? A gyerek magas. ? Like now he is tall

[jzsuzsi]

Yes. A gyerek magas. = The child is tall.

[Ola.Saky]

Would you actually say in english that a house is tall instead big?

[LuSadie]

Yes, you could.
