قارص
When we say something is قارص (qaaris), we're talking about a level of cold that is much more intense than just a little chilly. Think of it like a biting, stinging cold. It's the kind of cold that makes you shiver and seek warmth immediately. You'll often hear it used to describe very cold weather or water that feels painfully cold. This word helps you express a significant degree of coldness, beyond just بارد (baarid), which means generally cold.
When we describe something with قارص it means it's extremely cold. We can use it to talk about weather conditions like a really cold winter day. It’s also used metaphorically, for example, to describe a very harsh or biting criticism, but this is less common for A2 learners.
Think of it as the kind of cold that makes you shiver and want to stay indoors, like a cold wind or freezing water. In conversation, you might hear someone say, 'The weather today is قارص,' meaning it's bitterly cold.
§ Understanding قارص (Qaris)
The word قارص (Qaris) means "extremely cold" or "bitterly cold." It's an adjective you'll hear when people describe very low temperatures, not just for weather but also for things like drinks or food. Think of it as a stronger version of just "cold."
- DEFINITION

When talking about a cold drink:

§ In News and Reports
