Mortar is a workable paste that's spread between bricks, stones, or other building blocks to bind them together and hold a structure in place. It matters because without it, individual blocks would simply stack on top of each other without adhering, making buildings unstable and unable to withstand weather, time, and structural stress.

La malta è un conglomerato cementizio costituito da una miscela di legante (ad esempio cemento e/o calce), acqua, inerti fini (ad esempio sabbia) ed eventuali additivi, il tutto in proporzioni tali da assicurare lavorabilità all'impasto bagnato e resistenza meccanica allo stato asciutto, dopo la presa e l'indurimento.
