📖 Mini Chinese Lesson: Describing People
Today’s video is all about checking someone’s appearance. Here are some useful Chinese expressions!
1. 个子 (gèzi)
个子 refers to a person’s height or stature.
* 高个子 = a tall person
* 矮个子 = a short person
Examples:
* 她个子很高。
Tā gèzi hěn gāo.
She is tall.
* 我个子不高。
Wǒ gèzi bù gāo.
I’m not very tall.
Notice that in English we simply say “She is tall,” not “Her height is tall.”
⸻
2. 身材 (shēncái)
身材 describes a person’s figure or body shape, not their face.
Examples:
* 她身材很好。
Tā shēncái hěn hǎo.
She has a great figure.
* 他身材很瘦。
Tā shēncái hěn shòu.
He has a slim build.
* 她身材很高挑。
Tā shēncái hěn gāotiǎo.
She has a tall, slender figure.

Chinese often uses 有 (“have”) to describe physical features.
Examples:
* 她有玫瑰纹身。
Tā yǒu méigui wénshēn.
She has a rose tattoo.
* 他有黑头发。
Tā yǒu hēi tóufa.
He has black hair.
* 她有蓝眼睛。
Tā yǒu lán yǎnjing.
She has blue eyes.
⸻
4. 戴着 (dài zhe)
戴 (dài) means to wear accessories, and 着 (zhe) shows the state of wearing them.
Examples:
* 她戴着银耳环。
Tā dài zhe yín ěrhuán.
She is wearing silver earrings.
* 他戴着眼镜。
Tā dài zhe yǎnjìng.

5. 没有问题 (méiyǒu wèntí)
A very common expression meaning “Everything is fine” or “There is no problem.”
Examples:
* 她没有问题。
Tā méiyǒu wèntí.
She checks out.
* 没问题!
Méi wèntí!
No problem!
* 我觉得她没有问题。
Wǒ juéde tā méiyǒu wèntí.
