Cold / chilly / freezing
These are different ways to say the temperature is low.
Cold is the normal word.
But in Spring, when it’s warm outside in the daytime, but a little bit cold in the evening, we call it chilly. Chilly is a negative word, “cool” is a positive word.
Examples:
“It’s chilly outside, you should wear a sweater!”
“Oh my God it is hot outside! Let’s go somewhere inside where it’s cool!”
Use the word freezing when you want to show that it is really very cold.
Example:
“Did you see the news? It’s freezing in Beijing! Maybe we should go to Guangzhou.”
