Hungarian |
English |
| hűs, hűvös | cool or chilly |
| fagyos, dermesztő | freezing |
| jeges | icey, ice-cold |
Note:
- hűvös means the same as hűs, it is only a longer and shorter pair form of the same idea. Poetical, sofisticated word choice are both.
- fagyos and jeges are adjectives which are equal if you use them to express weather. However, fagy is the word for freeze, or frost and jég is the result of freezing weather. This is simply the ice.
- Jégkrém comes right directly from jég, just like the English ice-cream.
