Ulët

Ulët is an Albanian adjective meaning "low" or "low-lying." It is used to describe height or elevation, as well as figurative levels such as intensity or price. In everyday usage, ulët appears in phrases about physical objects like hills and buildings, as well as in descriptors of non-physical qualities such as voice or temperature.

In standard Albanian, ulët agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. For example, with a masculine singular noun one common construction is mali është i ulët, meaning “the hill is low.” The expression zëri i ulët, meaning “low voice,” shows ulët used to describe tonal qualities when connected to a noun phrase. The word can also depict lower prices or reduced levels in various contexts, such as market or environmental descriptions.

The comparative and superlative forms of ulët are typically formed using the standard Albanian patterns for adjectives, often involving the particle më to indicate a higher degree (e.g., more low) and accompanying determiner or article as required by the noun phrase. Dialectal variations are generally minor and relate mainly to pronunciation and common collocations rather than core meaning.

Overall, ulët is a productive, everyday adjective in Albanian, versatile for both concrete and abstract descriptions. It functions within the language’s normal adjective system, adapting to different nouns through standard gender and number agreement.
