"Цей чоловік був низький на зріст."

Translation: This man was short.

Why not say "short in height"

[sagitta145]

Is that correct in English?..

[HeyMarlana]

Yes, I've heard this. It's not common, but it's said. More like "He is short in stature."

[sagitta145]

OK, thanks, added both :)

As a native English speaker I would say it is completely redundant to say "short in height". As soon as you say "short" everyone knows you're talking about his height. It's not technically wrong.. it's just silly.

This is true, however I would like the translation to say short in height so I could more accurately learn what each UA word means. Having English a bit off in this course is okay to me, if it helps understand the UA language better.

What's the difference between короткий і низький?

[MelisaInsa1]

Could it be?.. короткий for ex movie, dress, pants. And низький for people or a table or bed or sea level...

[sagitta145]

Короткий is about length, and низький about height.
