La señora Pat es una mujer simpática y baja.
La señora Pat es una señora agradable y corta.
Either of these would be understood.
Well, both would be understood but not with the same meaning.
In any case, the physical description comes first. : Baja y simpática.
Corta is for something else other than people. For people we use "bajo/a" or "chaparro/a" - Daniela2041
Corta is used for people...not meaning "short" though.
Es corta...she is not the brightest star in the sky. ![]()
Here's my suggestion:
La señora Pat es una mujer simpática y baja.
Here's what Google Translate suggests:
La señora Pat es una señora agradable y corta.
Either of these would be understood. However, Google uses "corta" when it should use "baja" or "chaparra" to describe a short human being. Corto/a is used for short things...such as pantalones.
Agradable & simpática are synonyms.
I prefer to say "mujer" in the second instance instead of "señora" to avoid duplication.
Another word for "lady" is "dama", but in general, the Spanish word "dama" is used somewhat more formally that we tend to use lady in English, at least in the United States. In the U.S. lady can be used synonymously with woman, but in Spanish Dama is often more formal like "dame" in English.
