Hi,
I just came across this sentence:
uzun boylu bir erkek.
But when I look up the 2 words uzun and boylu, they both have the same meaning: 'tall'.
Is there any difference in their meaning? If not, then why do they occur together if they have the same meaning?
thnx

Quoting bliss: Uzun boylu bir erkek. = Handsome tall man. |
Where do you get "handsome" from?
uzun = long
boylu = tall (object)
uzun boylu = tall (person)
[u]uzun boylu bir erkek[/b] = a tall man

I have looked in three dictionaries now including the one attached to this site and I cannot find that translation!
yakışıklı bir erkek = a handsome man

Myabe Bod, I found that in my russian phrase book. If I am wrong then take that "Thank you" and tell Chantal that is only 'tall man'

I am not 100% sure that I m right......
Perhaps a better Turkish speaker could confirm which one it is!

Yes, why it's handsome? There's not a word for handsome 
it's
uzun boylu, yakışıklı bir erkek: a handsome tall man
For people to mean "tall", nearly always "uzun boylu" is used. Uzun sounds more like "long".
