EN: small, little, tiny
"Munti" is the more poetic, "makata" way of saying something is small. You'd use it in a song or a poem about your "munting pangarap" (small dream). It's the opposite of the "go big or go home" mindset; it's the small, quiet wins, like finding a 20-peso bill in your old jeans. The reduplicated form, "munting-munti," means *very* small, like your patience on a Monday morning in EDSA traffic.
Often used in literary or formal contexts, but also in expressing endearment. The form 'munting-munti' is an intensifier meaning 'very small'.
