How To Say It’s Cold in Korean
추워요
[chuwoyo]
It’s cold / I feel cold (for weather)
추워요 is a very unique verb that English doesn’t have. 추워요 means that I feel cold from the weather or temperature from the environment. So, you can’t say something is cold with 추워요. Maybe it’s really tricky to understand right? But you will understand it 100% at the end of this lesson.
오늘 너무 추워요
It’s so cold today
내일부터 추워진대요
It’s getting cold from tomorrow
춥죠?
It’s cold, ins’t it?
Something Is Cold
차가워요
[chagawoyo]
It’s cold (for objects)
You can use 차가워요 to also say something is cold in Korean but you can’t use it to say weather is cold. Korean language separated coldness into 2 words like this and this is really important because no native Koreans would understand that the weather is cold when you say 차가워요.
물이 차가워요
Water is cold
음식이 차가워요
The food is cold
준씨 손이 엄청 차가워요
Your hands are so cold Jun
춥다 vs 차갑다
Basically, There is no way to distinguish 춥다 and 차갑다 when both are translated in English. However, you have to use them properly because they are different words in Korean. 춥다 is coldness you feel from the weather or environment and 차갑다 is that the actual temperature of something is low.
Something Is Cold
차다
[chada]
It’s cold (for skin, water, air, food)
차다 is exactly same to 차갑다 but it’s used for skin, water, air, food. However, it’s an informal Korean phrase so you can use it only when you can use 반말 (informal non-honorific) and it sounds like you’re talking to yourself a little bit.
공기가 차다
The air is cold
손이 차다
Hands are cold

This Course Was $15
$15, maybe it’s nothing that you can earn after a couple of hours of labor. Or, maybe you have to work for full days to earn it only because of where you were born. And $15, It’s the average price of Korean textbooks. Life is unfair. But that’s why we can help each other, we are helping each other.
