Usage notes

[edit]

matala can be used to mean "shallow" as long as there is no risk of confusion with the other meaning "low". This almost always applies in terms of vertical depth, such as when talking about a body of water, a trench, a dish or receptacle, a cut or wound, etc. In case of horizontal depth, such as of a shelf or cabinet, other terms are used; a shallow bookshelf could be described as syvyydeltään kapea (literally narrow by depth) or syvyyssuunnassa kapea (literally narrow in the depth direction); terms such as lyhyt (literally short) or litteä (literally flat) may also be used in some cases.
