high (adjective)
Usage Note
Haut as a noun means the top or upper part (le haut de la colline, the top of the hill), and as an adjective means high or tall — though grand is preferred for people's height. The final 't' is silent. The phrase en haut means 'upstairs' or 'at the top', and là-haut means 'up there'. Its opposite is bas (bottom, low).
Examples
"Regarde en haut, il y a un aigle."
