EN: smaller
The standard way to say something is 'smaller' in Tagalog. It's what you say when you get your online order and the item is not what you expected. 'Sa picture, malaki tingnan, pero sa personal, **mas maliit** pala.' It's also what your salary feels like compared to your bills.
From `mas` (more, from Spanish 'más') + `maliit` (small, from root `liit`).
The structure `mas` + adjective is the most common way to form the comparative degree in Filipino. The superlative is `pinakamaliit` (smallest).
