I’m 5 11 and 14 I’m too tall ㅠㅠ I’m a girl too lmao all these short bois


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/GlitchySou

For rest of the world - 5'11 = 180.34 cm

Thank you, WHY are they using inches?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/B-Frank

Because we (미국인은) are self centered idiots.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/SeanFogart4

We still used inches for height in Canada too, and planks of wood or whatever for building houses. Besides track and field, that's about it. Hey, we have to have some way to relate to it. Everything else has gone French to that metric system. Our rivals won and English words like "inch" and "foot" are dying. 5'11" is exactly 180.34 +/- 1.27 cm so it could translate to anywhere from 179-182 cm. Pretty tall for fourteen! The boys will have a lot of catching up to do.

It is English to Korean


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/HP1895

And here I am, having trouble with estimating heights in cm. It's weird how we use cm on a daily basis and for heights too, and yet I find feet and inches easier for heights. I'm Indian.

Jimin?? What you want to say??? Big fan of BTS


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/RWang2017

Is 가 the subject particle here? Does 커 mean tall?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/erudis

Yes and yes. 크다 means 'to be big' and 키 is 'height', so if you have a big height, it means you're tall. You'll also see 키가 작다, which means 'to have a small height', or to be short.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/josueetcom

To give some additional info, 저는 is like "as for me", and then 키가 커요 basically means "the height is big" so 저는 키가 커요 literally reads "As for me, the height is big" which means "I am tall".


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Geiru

Now it makes sense to me.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/aka_rabbi

the full sentence was " i know i am ugly but i am tall!"


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/_reflection

I've heard that 하지만 stands for stop or smth like that


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Wang_Jackson

하지마 means don't do it. 하지만 means but or however.

Do not get confused between these two ever.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ALadylikeSpark

[deactivated user]

    I mean, I am considered super tall here in Maldives. I am 161cm tall. I am a 15 year old girl. Most of my friends are around 4'11. I am the 2nd tallest in my class. So, there's that. How tall are you though? I'm kind of curious :D


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/FeketeZsfi14

    I'm about 154 cm, but everyone in my mother's family is short
