Can a book be short?

[Martin358481]

'Short' as in "not having a lot of content" or as in "being of a small size either vertically or horizontally"? Yes, and yes. :)

[shrnkm]

We have 'thin' books, that don't have many pages, and we have 'small' books, with smaller than usual dimensions.
But for 'short,' we normally have short stories.

[Djibril487949]

A short book has not many pages. A small book is not very tall (or deep). Different things.

A novella perhaps??

[Meria923797]

I think it's not common to use قصیر for کتاب
But we can say
فستان قصیر
which means short dress

It must be SMALL

[MichelleDa878143]

Small refers to the physical size of the book. Short refers to the time you will need to spend reading it. It will usually be a thin book, instead of a thick book, but not always.

Hi guys, just wanted to make a short comment.
