baixíssima

Baixíssima is a Portuguese word that translates to "very low" or "extremely low" in English. It is the feminine superlative form of the adjective "baixo," meaning "low." The masculine superlative form is "baixíssimo." This word is used to describe a quantity, intensity, or level that is exceptionally reduced. For example, it might be used to describe a very low temperature ("temperatura baixíssima"), a very low price ("preço baixíssimo"), or a very low sound ("volume baixíssimo"). The intensity conveyed by "baixíssima" is significantly stronger than simply "baixa" (low). It emphasizes the extreme degree of lowness. The context in which "baixíssima" is used will determine its precise meaning, but the core idea remains a state of being at a minimal or greatly reduced level. It can also be used figuratively, such as referring to a very low moral standard or a state of profound unhappiness.
