Înalt

Înalt is a Romanian word meaning "tall" or "high." It is an adjective used to describe physical height, elevation, or abstract concepts such as rank or importance. For example, a tall building would be described as o clădire înaltă, and a high mountain as un munte înalt. The word can also be used metaphorically to signify something significant or elevated in status.

The feminine form of the adjective is înaltă, and the plural forms are înalți (masculine) and înalte (feminine). This grammatical agreement is standard for Romanian adjectives. The word's etymology traces back to the Latin word "altus," meaning "high" or "deep." Its usage is widespread in everyday Romanian conversation and literature.

In certain contexts, "înalt" can also refer to a high-ranking official or a person of noble birth. For instance, a high priest might be referred to as un preot înalt. The word's versatility allows it to convey a range of meanings related to verticality and importance within the Romanian language.
