"Eu sunt atât înalt, cât și gras."

Translation: I am both tall and fat.

[Gzeebzee]

Literally - I am so much tall, how also fat. Thats a dificult construction for an english speaker

[PaulMinden]

Now, does this actually mean "I am both tall and fat"? I thought it meant, "I am as tall as I am fat." No?

[crbratu]

No. That would be "sunt atât de înalt cât sunt de gras" (and a weird sentence also...)

[AlexusD90]

I guess so too.

[David-Herron]

Good to see I'm not the only confused person. How were we supposed to figure this out from the hints? I went to Google Translate and while that gave the correct translation, it's not really helping with why it's translated this way. What a strange sentence.

Hello native speakers, shouldn't it be "eu sunt atât DE înalt, cât și gras"?

[crbratu]

No, "eu sunt atât de înalt ca..." would translate to "I am as tall as..."

[Denisa283415]

If you use "atat de" it is more like "I am SO tall"

[olb38]

But it is not so much dificult for bulgarian
