Question about the usage of froid

Question

(1) If the person is female, we still use froid instead of froide? For example, Elle a froid?

(2) How about plural female pronoun like "elles"? Which one of the following is correct: a) Elles ont froid? or b) Elles ont froides?

Merci!

Accepted Answer

Hi  Luchen,
It will remain as ‘froid’ or ‘chaud’ as the expression is -
Avoir froid/ chaud .
J’ai froid , elle a froid, nous avons froid, elles ont froid  or chaud...
You only agree froid or chaud ( adjectives) when they are  linked to nouns as in -
L’ eau  chaude ou froide
Hope this helps!

Answer

The French expression literally means: I have cold. So froid is a noun.

Answer

Oui, merci

Answer

Is it because both chaud and froid are masculine nouns, so no matter which subjective pronoun it is, the chaud and froid always stay "chaud" and "froid"?

Answer

merci
