Definition
高个儿 is a colloquial noun meaning 'a tall person' or 'someone of tall stature'. It's formed from 高 (tall) + 个儿 (stature/size). You can use it to describe someone's height in a casual, conversational way — like saying 'he's a tall one' in English. It's not a formal term; you'd hear it in everyday talk rather than in writing.
