意味
Describing the weather at night.
文化的背景
The phrase is often a precursor to 'hygge'. By mentioning the cold, you justify staying inside, lighting candles, and drinking coffee. In Greenland (part of the Danish Realm), a 'kold nat' can be life-threatening. The phrase is used with much more practical weight and seriousness. H.C. Andersen used the cold night as a recurring motif to highlight social inequality and the suffering of the poor. With the rise of winter bathing (vinterbadning), this phrase is now often heard among groups of friends heading to the harbor for a night dip.
The Hygge Trigger
Use this phrase to suggest going inside. It's a very polite way to end an outdoor conversation.
Adjective Agreement
Don't add a -t to 'kold' here. 'Nat' is common gender, so it's 'kold', not 'koldt'.
