"Jak wysoka jest ta góra?"

Translation: How high is this mountain?

[Euhan1]

I love that old classic "Mountain Tall, Valley Short"!

[Celina689105]

A mountain is 'high' not 'tall'

[eannaoc]

You can say either. Usually I hear and say "tall"

[jw8DP]

Are there any regional differences? e.g. tall in the UK, high in the US?

[Kendra800150]

Either works for me, but I am a bit surprised that "How high is this mountain?" is not accepted.

[Jellei]

It is, it should have worked.

[ADJD4]

Hang on, what's a hill then?

[Okcydent]

"wzgórze" is a hill, more general term is „wniesienie”.

[Hot-Doggy]

The preferred answer should be "How high is this mountain". I have never heard anyone refer to a mountain as being "tall" — until now!

A building can be regarded as being "tall" because its height usually exceeds its width. There are mountains (Mount Fuji, for example) whose widths exceed their heights — so they should be called "high" rather than "tall".

An interesting observation from the American Corpus:

• high mountain - 267 results
• highest mountain - 263 results
• tallest mountain - 115 results
• tall mountain - 32 results

[Jellei]

OK, changed.

[F4yY9kZj]

Is "Jaka wysoka jest ta góra?" a good sentence? If so, what does it mean?

[alik1989]

Well, it's not accepted and it will probably stay this way, even though I could find some examples in the corpus. Maybe it's a regional thing, or just inferior style, not sure.

It definitely works as a statement, though: Spójrz, jaka wysoka jest ta góra! - Look how tall this montain is!
