"Itt az asztalok alacsonyak."

Translation: Here the tables are low.

[_paranoia_]

"Here the tables are short" isn't acceptable? It seems to mean just about the same thing to me.

[gergo2]

In English "short" means "not tall" when applied to people. However, objects that are "not tall" cannot be called "short" in English. A short table is one that is not long.

[_paranoia_]

Ah! Good point. I think that a short table could refer either to one that is not long, or to one that is not tall. (But probably more to the first.)

[kenguruhu]

English isn't this limit. Short can refer to any measurement of length and sometimes other instances such as values. "Coming up short". A short table could refer to length or height as they are both measurements of a distance. Context would indicate which measurement the speaker is referring to. So the answer should be accepted.
