Is it correct to describe shirk (associating partners with Allah) as major and minor?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it correct for us to call this hadith major shirk (associating partners with Allah) or minor shirk?

The Shaykh : Major and minor kufr (disbelief)

The questioner : I say, are we allowed to call it shirk (associating partners with Allah) as well?

The Shaykh : It is correct, because every shirk (associating partners with Allah) is kufr (disbelief), but not vice versa.
