Skyscraper?

Can a building with a height of 84m be called a skyscraper? intforce (talk) 14:08, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

English isn't my first language. It's de:Hochhaus in German, and Düsseldorf is a city of mostly flatter buildings. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:12, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looked around a bit and changed to High-rise building, - although I haven't heard the term used, and it reads complicated. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:16, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, skyscraper would be Wolkenkratzer. While I think there is no exact equivalent for Hochhaus (which can also be used colloquially); "high-rise building" comes closest. intforce (talk) 15:52, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's any reason not to call it a skyscraper (though i see you've changed it and the new phrase is fine); i grew up calling anything over eight to ten stories a skyscraper, and i think everyone in my country did. My perception is that high-rise is more North American usage for the lower tall buildings. My two cents
