What's the difference between alacsony and rövid?

[96314081311257]

Alacsony is the antonym of magas (tall, high.) Rövid is the antonym of hosszú (long.)

[AppleSenpie]

So does that mean rövid is used for when things are short in length, while alacsony is used when things are short in height?

[jzsuzsi]

Yes, exactly. And for people, alacsony is used.

[Ietsey]

If a short person is laying on a bed, is he still alacsony or rövid ?

[MrtonPolgr]

If a person is lying on a bed, does he have a height or a length? :D
