§ How to Use 'Cald' in a Sentence
Like many adjectives in Romanian, 'cald' needs to agree in gender and number with the noun it describes. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward. Here are the forms:
- Masculine Singular: cald (for 'un băiat cald' - a warm boy, 'timpul cald' - warm weather)
- Feminine Singular: caldă (for 'o zi caldă' - a warm day, 'o supă caldă' - a warm soup)
- Masculine Plural: calzi (for 'băieți calzi' - warm boys, 'anii calzi' - warm years)
- Feminine Plural: calde (for 'zile calde' - warm days, 'supe calde' - warm soups)
Let's look at some examples to make this crystal clear.
Vreau o cafea caldă, te rog. (I want a warm coffee, please.)
Here, 'cafea' (coffee) is feminine singular, so 'caldă' is used.
Este un ceai foarte cald. (It's a very hot tea.)
'Ceai' (tea) is masculine singular, so we use 'cald'.
Ne plac zilele calde de vară. (We like warm summer days.)
'Zile' (days) is feminine plural, so 'calde' is the correct form.
Pantofii sunt calzi în soare. (The shoes are warm in the sun.)
'Pantofii' (the shoes) is masculine plural, hence 'calzi'.
§ Common Expressions with 'Cald'
'Cald' isn't just about temperature. It can also describe feelings or situations. For example:
- 'A fi cald la suflet' (Literally: to be warm at heart) - Means to be kind-hearted or affectionate.
Ea este o persoană foarte caldă la suflet. (She is a very kind-hearted person.)
Notice 'caldă' agrees with 'persoană' (person), which is feminine singular.
§ Prepositions with 'Cald'
Generally, 'cald' acts as a descriptive adjective and doesn't usually pair with specific prepositions in a fixed way. You'll see it used directly with nouns or after forms of 'a fi' (to be).
Mi-e cald. (I am hot / I feel warm.)
This is an impersonal construction, similar to 'Mi-e foame' (I'm hungry). Here, 'cald' is in its masculine singular form, acting as an adverbial predicate.
Keep practicing these forms, and 'cald' will become second nature to you. Good job!

よくある質問
10 問Cald means warm, while fierbinte means hot, like boiling water or a scorching desert. Think of it like this: 'cald' is a pleasant warmth, 'fierbinte' is an intense, sometimes uncomfortable, heat. For example, you'd say 'apă caldă' for warm water for a bath, but 'apă fierbinte' if you burned your hand on it.
Yes, you can! When describing a person, 'cald' means friendly, warm-hearted, or affectionate. For instance, 'Este o persoană caldă' means 'She is a warm person.' It's a lovely compliment!
Absolutely! Like many Romanian adjectives, 'cald' has different forms.
Singular:
- Masculine: cald (e.g., 'timp cald' - warm weather)
- Feminine: caldă (e.g., 'supă caldă' - warm soup)
Plural:
- Masculine: calzi (e.g., 'pantofi calzi' - warm shoes)
- Feminine: calde (e.g., 'mănuși calde' - warm gloves)
It's important to match the adjective to the noun's gender and number.
To say 'it's warm' in Romanian, you'd most commonly use 'E cald'. This is a very common phrase for talking about the weather. For example, 'E cald afară' means 'It's warm outside'.
Not directly. 'Cald' is primarily an adjective. However, you can use it in phrases that function like nouns. For example, 'mi-e cald' means 'I am warm' or 'I feel hot', where 'cald' is part of an idiomatic expression, not a standalone noun.
Here are a few useful phrases:
- 'Cald la inimă': warm-hearted.
- 'A avea o primire caldă': to have a warm welcome.
- 'A bea ceva cald': to drink something warm.
- 'Vreme caldă': warm weather.
To make 'cald' more intense, you can use adverbs. The most common is 'foarte' (very). So, 'foarte cald' means 'very warm'. You can also say 'destul de cald' for 'quite warm' or 'pratică cald' for 'pretty warm'.
Good question! While 'cald' primarily refers to temperature, it's very often used metaphorically, especially when describing emotions or relationships. Think of a 'warm embrace' ('îmbrățișare caldă') or a 'warm smile' ('zâmbet cald'). It adds a lovely human touch.
The most common opposite of 'cald' is 'rece', which means cold. So, if you have 'apă caldă' (warm water), the opposite would be 'apă rece' (cold water).
While the core meaning of 'cald' is consistent across Romania, you might notice slight differences in common collocations or emphasis in different regions. However, for a beginner, the standard usage taught here will be perfectly understood everywhere. No need to worry about major regional variations for this word.
