"But I am tall!"
Translation:하지만 저는 키가 커요!

Since I've seen the phrase "I'm tall" worded like this before, I'd say yes. Otherwise, it sounds like you're saying "I'm big" since the verb 크다 (conjugated in the present tense as 커요) means "to be big". When used as a noun (키가), it becomes one way of saying "height". When combining both words you get, for example, "건물은 키가 커요", which translated word for word means "the height if the building is big," which you can then take to mean "the building is tall."
Yes.
These two Korean words together 키가 커요 means X is tall.
But slone 커요 means X is big.
I used 그런데 instead of 하지만 and it was incorrect? Can someone tell me why please?
2019-08-26 그러데 was accepted for my answer. But truthfully I hear it said more often when people are strongly correcting what someone said. 하지만 seems much milder, like saying "By the way, I'm also strong."
Im pretty sure you can in real life but just on this question you cant
Cause you used the formal form -> verb ending with 요. So you should use 저 not 내.
Can someone explain why 그렇지만 is wrong? I understood from the tips that it was simply a more formal version of 하지만.
I think they just marked it wrong because it isn't in their list of acceptable answers, but you aren't wrong.
