"I have a small nose."

Translation: 我有小鼻子。

[ewan0707]

The more natural way to say this in Chinese would be "我有个小鼻子。"

[Elaine564]

I would have thought this would be "我的鼻子很小“...

[Kivolamuzikisto]

That would be "My nose is small".

[NathanRasm]

They accept that now. Like you, I presuppose that people have noses.

[shiningaardvark]

Why is there no measure word?

[Dasiy408141]

haha you know the measure word?yeah 我有个小鼻子，that is what we usually say

[kuyaC]

Without the "一"?

[59191]

Yes.

[Maximilien369]

Generally in “一个” Chinese tend to skip the “一”

[DestinationVoid]

Is there any rule when can you skip 的？

[NathanRasm]

Like the Pirate Code, it's more a set of guidelines. The possessor has to be a pronoun, is usually a one-syllable pronoun, and the thing possessed has to be something very closely connected, like a home, family member, or body part.

[ArundeepRa]

Yes!! When mentioning family members & pet animals, we can skip 的 . Example can write 我爸爸 instead of 我的爸爸。
Any suggestions by native speakers please.

[Dasiy408141]

nope.when we need to stress "我"，we add"的"，if not we usually drop it.and "我的"sounds more official

[RobinThor]

What about after 小?

[Fanny2468]

My answer would have been "我有一个小鼻子". Is there a rule for when I can leave the number (and measureword)? Is it only possible with body parts and maybe family?

[Gelukservaring]

It's probably because you always have one nose anyway. It wouldn't make any sense to use counting words.
