malalta

Malalta is a term that can refer to several concepts, primarily in the Esperanto language. In Esperanto, "malalta" is the adjective meaning "low." It is used to describe things that are physically low in position, such as a low table (malalta tablo), or low in height, like a short person (malalta persono). It can also describe abstract qualities such as a low price (malalta prezo) or a low level of something (malalta nivelo).

Beyond its literal meaning in Esperanto, "malalta" might appear in other contexts, though less commonly. It could potentially be a surname or a place name in certain regions. However, without specific context, the primary association of "malalta" remains its meaning as "low" in the constructed international auxiliary language, Esperanto. The word is derived from the root "alt-" meaning "high," with the prefix "mal-" indicating the opposite. This systematic word formation is characteristic of Esperanto, allowing for the creation of antonyms from existing roots.
