Word of the day-alto. Given example?

Question

Están con la moral bastante alta. - They are in very high spirits.

This is a very good sentence, but I really do not understand it. Using bastante as very? Using moral as spirit? Can someone explain, por favor?

Gracias

Answer 1

Moral in this case means morale. and I agree bastante translates better as rather They rather high spirits or morale.

Thanks Bella I looked up moral which shows as an adjective so I was confused. - foxluv, Apr 29, 2011
