bajo, adjective
low; short

As we’ve seen with many other words, Spanish conveys meanings that English conveys with separate words. First, something that is low:

una silla muy baja
a very low chair

It is also used non-literally.

la temporada baja
the low season

a un precio muy bajo
at a very low price

Bajo also refers to your physical stature. In this sense it’s often used in the diminutive, with the suffix -ito added.

Son los dos más bien bajitos.
They’re both rather short.
