How tall are you?

Jesus1 · Sun Sep 17, 2006 19:45 pm *How tall are you?*

Hello! How do ya feel?

How tall are you?

'I am 1.65 metres'

Would you say:

"I am one POINT sixty-five metres"?

How would you say?

Thanks a lot!

Jes?s

Hi Jesus

I'd personally say "I'm five foot five". Wink

Right! Thanks for your reply!

So, Is 'five foot five' the same as 1.65 metres?

Thanks once again!

Yes it is, Jes?s. Very Happy

To be honest, I'm not sure what I'd say in meters and centimeters because I've only ever spoken in English about my height in terms of feet and inches. Embarassed

EDIT:

By the way, the "short way" to say your height in feet and inches would be:

"I'm five five." Laughing
