Etymology

Borrowed from English calmFrench calmeItalian calmoSpanish calmo. Decision no. 14, Progreso II.

Pronunciation

Adjective

kalma

  1. (objects, people or figuratively) calm, still, placid

Usage notes

Kalma indicates a completely passive and material state that does not move: maro kalma a calm sea (i.e. not agitated by the wind). Tranquila has the sense of simultaneously material and mental, but preferably active: which does not agitate itself, does not move itself without usefulness or reason: vicini tranquila tranquil neighborhoods (which are not noisy). Lastly, quieta expresses a mental state, better defined by its opposition desquieteso (disquietude, inquietude) and desquieta (disquiet).
