"The movie is short."

Translation: 영화가 짧습니다.

[Madyleena]

What's the difference between the two options?

[mohn_jilligan]

I believe they are different levels of formality. I think 짧습니다 is a higher formality than 짧어요

What is the difference between 짧습니다 and 작니다?

[ayk410]

짧습니다 means short & 작습니다 means small

[LeeKernChoong]

*작습니다 sorry

[Jocelyn351509]

Ok so -(스) ㅂ니다 is added to the verb stem which makes it the highest level of formality

-니다 is a little lower

-아/어/여요 is a present polite

-아/어/여 is casual

I looked up the translation of 짧다 and it has the meanings 1) short, brief and 2) thoughtless, poor.
Would this mean that 영화가 짧습니다 actually automatically carries a negative connotation? Or would would it simply be understood as "the movie is short"?
Thanks four your answer :)
