HI,

First of all, Happy Easter to everyone!

Then, could you help me how to say these numbers in English?

I'm 1.70 m.
- one point seventy meters?
- one point seventy meter?
- one point seven meters?
- one point seven meter?
- one seventy?
- one seventy meter?
- or any other way?

I'm 1.71 m.
- ?

Thanks
Bye

Happy Easter to you too.

To answer your question, I should first mention that I hardly ever talk about my height in meters -- I talk about my height in feet and inches. If I wanted to say that I'm 1.70 meters tall, I'd probably say it this way:
- I'm a meter seventy.

The way people would usually say that in the US is this:
- I'm five foot seven. Wink
