FIL: Tumutukoy sa mababang posisyon, taas, halaga, o kalidad.
EN: low; short (in height)
The opposite of taas (high/up). It's for low prices ("**baba** ng presyo!"), low scores ("**baba** ng grades ko, huhu"), or literally just "down" or "downstairs" ("Nasa **baba** siya."). It's the direction your motivation goes on a Monday morning.
Mula sa Proto-Malayo-Polinesyo *babaq.
Pronounced with stress on the second syllable: ba-BÀ. The meaning changes completely based on stress compared to its homograph 'bába' (chin). Often seen in its form 'mababa'.
