How to Say ‘I am 170 centimeters tall.’ in Traditional Chinese
我身高一百七十公分。
wǒ shēn gāo yì bǎi qī shí gōng fēn
[wo shēngāo yìbǎi qīshí gōngfēn]
💬 Usage Tip: 身高 "body height" works like a label, and the number follows directly with no verb. 體重 "body weight" works the same way: 我體重六十公斤 "I weigh 60 kilograms".
