意思
Low temperature.
文化背景
Finns have a saying: 'Ei ole huonoa säätä, on vain huonoja vaatteita' (There is no bad weather, only bad clothing). This reflects the pragmatic approach to 'olla kylmä'. The contrast between the 80°C sauna and the 'kylmä' air or water outside is a vital part of the Finnish experience, believed to improve circulation. Complaining about the cold is one of the few universally accepted ways to engage in 'small talk' with strangers in Finland. Finnish windows are often triple-glazed to ensure that even if 'ulkona on kylmä', 'sisällä on lämmin'.
The 'I am cold' Trap
Never say 'Minä olen kylmä' to a Finn unless you want them to think you are a sociopath or a ghost.
Partitive for Liquids
When talking about drinks or weather in a general sense, use 'kylmää' (partitive). 'Vesi on kylmää'.
