(music) a low female singing voice — borrowed from Italian
⚠️ The trap
English borrowed 'alto' as a singing-voice term. In everyday Italian 'alto' just means tall or high. The low female voice is 'contralto' in Italian music terminology.
To say "(music) a low female singing voice — borrowed from Italian" in Italian:
contralto (for the voice type)
"alto" in English means:
tall, high; loud (of volume)
Example
"Mio fratello è molto alto, misura un metro e novanta."
"My brother is very tall, he is 1.90 m."
