When talking about clothing in Chinese, the general word for 'pants' or 'trousers' is 裤子 (kùzi).
To specify 'shorts,' you add 短 (duǎn), meaning 'short,' before 裤 (kù). So, 短裤 (duǎnkù) literally means 'short pants.'
This pattern is common in Chinese for creating more specific clothing terms. You might also encounter 短袖 (duǎnxiù) for 'short-sleeved' (literally 'short sleeve'), for example.
It's a straightforward and practical word to add to your vocabulary, especially for talking about summer clothing.
