Ido

Etymology

Borrowed from Esperanto kvieta, English quiet, Italian quieto, Spanish quieto. Decision no. 14, Progreso II.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈku̯i̯eta/, /ˈkvi̯eta/

Adjective

quieta

1. (mental state) quiet, peaceful, tranquil

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”).
