"我有小鼻子。"

Translation: I have a small nose.

[BuffDoge]

Why doesn't this sentence use 一个 in "我有一个小鼻子。"?

[Hweiii]

Quantities aren't needed. I mean you only have 1 nose

[chetlin]

Numbers aren't required. While the sentence could theoretically also be "I have small noses", it'll be understood that you are just talking about your one, singular nose.

[wojtkerulz]

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't this be like ＂我有小的鼻子＂? Or is it OK without 的?

[Achaari]

I'd like to know when 的 can be omitted and when it is necessary too. In another thread, someone said that 的 is not used when the adjective is a single character.

[hippietrail]

This needs to accept "I've got" as well as "I have" and "little" as well as "small".

[johnsark]

The Chinese phrase sounds weird to me. It sounds like it's a word for word translation of the English sentence! I would have said: Wo de bizi hen xiao!
Any native Chinese speakers who can comment?

[Keith_APP]

It is grammatically correct, but I think nobody says it except kids.

There is a song sung at kindergarten:
我有小手拍拍拍，我有小腳踏踏踏，
我有小眼看看看，我有小嘴哈哈哈。

[Creeper_ND]

Native speaker here. This is weird indeed. 我（的）鼻子很小 would be much more natural, and actually if I'm going to say this, I'd say 我（的）鼻子不大.

i just laugh at some sentences doulingo makes XD

Why would you permit "small" and reject "little"? In polite English the first word has a slightly negative sound, while the second has a cute sound, where one might say it in polite speech. Because of subtleties like this you need to permit more "correct" answers.

I wrote little but got it wrong because it's supposed to be small... same thing, right?

[George792719]

And don't dare to write "I have a little nose", otherwise you'll get marked wrong.
