"O vestido é comprido."

Translation: The dress is long.

[relenamor]

When would you use comprido vs. longo? Are they interchangeable or are there subtle differences?

[Paulenrique]

They are interchageable.

[e.cambourn]

Are there any minor differences between them?

[DanielTietz]

No

A estrada é comprida = A estrada é longa

O cabelo é comprido = O cabelo é longo

Que dia comprido! = Que dia longo!

Mesa comprida = Mesa longa

Wellll, but i will never use "Que dia comprido!" xD

[MetroWestJP]

Wait. I just got marked wrong on the previous exercise for translating largo as long instead of wide. Should I have reported that? I thought since I got dinged, it must be a false cognate of the Spanish largo, which does mean long.

[kadara_gata]

i still find it interesting that 'vestido' is masculine.

[lugosky]

Might be from Latin. Vestido might've meant clothes at some point. In Spanish is masculine as well.

Why wouldn't "lengthy" work? Something relating to context?
