What do these words specifically mean?

1) "Ordenada" 2) "Rubia" - is that just to describe blonde hair color? Or does it mean "gold" as well? Like; the gold that's worth money? I think I'm misinformed there. raspberry 3) "Baja" - In lesson 1.2 it's pointing to a girl, but according to the translator, it means drop...? Does it mean short? Because... 4) ..."Alto" means tall, right? 5) "Tranquilla" - does it just mean quiet?

Okay, that's all. Thanks in advance...

Ordenada can mean several things, but orderly (arreglado) is the most common.

Rubia means blonde, or to have a fair (light) complexion

dorado would be golden, or gilded (layered with coating of gold)

baja puede ser el antónimo de alta; alto can mean halt, as well as tall.

tranquila can mean quiet, but more often calm, contented

Any of these answers can be found by looking in our dictionary.

Oh, tranquila. One L. What does tranquilla mean? - ryanspan, Sep 16, 2010
Heidit tells me that in Spain "Rubia" also means light colored hair and not just blond. Interesting, no? - --Mariana--, Sep 16, 2010
