I wonder if there was a word other than 高 used to describe height at one point that just fell out of use, like a direct opposite to 矮. Thanks for the video.
In spoken language, '高' (gāo) is generally used to describe a person's height. '人高马大' (rén gāo mǎ dà) is used to describe a tall and strong man, while '高挑' (gāo tiāo) is used to describe a tall and slender woman. On the other hand, '五大三粗' (wǔ dà sān cū) has a negative connotation. In more formal language, terms like '魁梧' kuí wu（kuí wú）, '玉树临风' (yù shù lín fēng), and '伟岸' (wěi'àn) are also used.
thank you so much!! :))
