Anata wa Bijin desu?

My boyfriend said this to me today in an instant message ''Anata wa Bijin desu''. I don't know what it means. He said he's pretty sure he got it right. I'd appreciate any information!

Thanks in advance!

"You are a beautiful woman"
"You are beautiful" is what he said :)

How do you say beautiful in Japanese? My girlfriend wants to make a banner with the english words speard out. Her and I would love it if someone could help us out with the Character and the english roomaji.

As a noun you can use Bijin for a beautiful woman (basically not for men, animals and any other creatures),

Anata wa Bijin (美人）desu...You are a beaty!

Anata wa Kirei (綺麗）desu...You are beautiful!

To me, Kirei is more common word in daily conversation.

also taken from bijin-ga pictures - the traditional advertising images of beautiful women to promote Japanese brand beers.

now only i know what is
Bijin (美人） =.="

should it not be "ka" after if it's a qestion? But...
Hai, watashi wa bijin desu.

should it not be "ka" after if it's a qestion?
I'm pretty sure the question mark in the title was not part of the phrase uttered but to ask a question here in this forum. "You, a beauty?" is not much of a compliment ^_^;; Reminds me of when Mister Darcy first met Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice, but I digress :-)
