This new word for boy needs to be introduced. It's not even in the hints.

[Peter_B_Parker]

To be fair, it would literally be 'man child' so figuring out that it means boy isnt too difficult. Not to mention you can tap or hover your mouse over to see what word it is

[sakuyaluigi]

Can someone explain the reason for needing two words for tall?

[aronkim]

키 is 'height', but more about size and not, for example, how high a plane is flying.
크다 means 'is big'
키가 크다 would mean 'has big height', a 'you are big' remarking not generam size but tallness

[sakuyaluigi]

That makes sense, thanks!

The answers for this question/exercise are wrong.

[Kara0916]

그 소년(은) is another way of saying "the boy". The answer they have is correct

[HazelFletc]

This is the first time I've come across this. Really interesting.

[JohnLucas2]

Yeah this form of boy has not been presented in the course at all.

[annie729736]

Actually i've been using man child throughout the course. I don 't find it new at all.

[racheliza711]

yeah had no idea about the other word for boy, when i tapped the word to get the right translation it didnt even show up there

[carnationpink]

Wait, 크다 is big. So why is it displayed as 큽니다? Is it because of an irregular?

[HellsRels]

ㅂ니다/습니다 is a formal verb ending meaning "is/are/am," so 큽니다 means "is big"

As someone pointed out in earlier comments, 키 refers to height. A transliteration of the sentence "남자아이는 키가 큽니다" would be, "The male child's height is big," which is then translated to, "The boy is tall."

From where i can get the grammar!

[The_Juice]

This word for boy is introduced in a different level. This means boy and the 남자 part tells what gender it is and the이야기 part means young if you put them together it means boy the same with girl. I hope this helps.

I wrote 남자아이가 키가 높습니다 why did it get marked wrong?
