"She is a bit short."

Translation: 她有点儿矮。

Is saying "她有点矮" wrong? I thought "有点儿" was a Beijing accent thing?

[Tristan.D]

I am fairly sure it's always written as "有点儿" but only pronounced so strongly in the Beijing accent (elsewhere, it's just dian where the n merges into the r, from what I've heard)

[SimonSprin1]

Can someone please explain why it is wrong to use ”... 一点儿 ...“.

[jvitti624]

我也是 confused about this! It it because we are talking about a person?

[NathanRasm]

don't 是, that's only for nouns. 'confused' is not a noun.

[SzymonRuci]

If you omitted 有 it shouldn't have been accepted. If you wrote “…有一点儿…” and it still wasn't accepted, then go ahead and report it.

[JonM.Chang]

Should 她有一點兒矮 also be acceptable? It's currently marked as wrong right now. Words are in traditional characters, but only difference is the 一

I'm using the type in your own sentence versus the word bank

[NasuSamaruk0]

Yes, this is also acceptable.

Youdiar = is a bit

Word Bank error - the audio is wrong when selecting 短 duǎn - for short. The robotic voice say 'ai' - maybe it's an Artificial Intelligence 'Scotty' from Star Trek, "Aye Cap'n, I'll take her to warp drive!"

Can someone explain the wordorder here? Why not 她矮有點兒？

[IsakPersso1]

I wrote "他有点矮" and I got it right, but duolingo says that I missed a space between 点 and 矮. That must be wrong, right?
