"तुम बहुत छोटे हो।"

Translation: You are very small.

[Owen-Benjambavan]

Sometimes the answer is small and other times the answer is short. How do we know which one is correct?

[vinay92]

Both are correct. Depends on the context.

[Mitaaksha]

Short is generally used in context of height while small is nearly applied in almost any context (excet height)

[kallu622362]

Chote/chota can mean both small or short depending on context.

[Margret251864]

We are talking of one person jere, tum, are we not? So why is chote used which is plural

[vinay92]

तुम always conjugates that way even if we are talking of a single person. The same is true for आप.

[Anthony101199]

Also used when telling a child she/he is too young for whatever the context.

[GraysonElliott]

This really threw me at first since the "tum" is pronounced like "tum-uh" in the fast version. (I try to listen only once to the fast version then spell it out in head first.) Am I crazy? Is tum-uh a thing?
