FIL: Hindi mahaba; may kaunting sukat o haba.
EN: short (in length)
This is for things that are short in length, not height. A "maigsi" skirt, a "maigsi" na sagot (short answer), or a "maigsi" na pasensya (short patience). It's that feeling when you're waiting for your sahod and the end of the month seems far away because your budget is already "maigsi".
Primarily refers to length, duration, or extent. For a person's height, 'pandak' or 'mababa' is used. For a short amount of time, 'maikli' is more common, but 'maigsi' can also be used.
