kalt

From Old High German *kald, northern variant of Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), chalt. The variation between the stems kalt and kaal is due to the development -ald- → -āl-, which occurred only in open syllables.

kalt (strong nominative masculine singular kalter, comparative kälter, superlative am kältesten)

1. cold, chilly; the physical perception of something (objects, weather, body etc.) to have a low temperature
2. calm, restrained, passionless
3. cold, frigid (especially when referring to emotions)
4. (housing) at cost (without utilities, such as heating, included)

• German kalt means “cold”, but not “feeling cold”; therefore the sentence ich bin kalt (literally “I am cold”) would mean that one’s body has a low temperature, particularly that one’s skin is cold on the outside. The English “I am cold” (that is: I feel cold) is equivalent to German mir ist kalt (literally “there is cold to me”).
