Külmneb

Külmneb is an Estonian verb that translates to "cools down" or "gets cold." It describes a process of temperature decrease, often referring to weather, objects, or liquids. The verb is derived from the adjective "külm," meaning "cold."

In meteorological contexts, külmneb is used to indicate a drop in temperature. For example, "Õhk külmneb" means "The air is cooling down." This can apply to daily temperature fluctuations or more significant seasonal changes.

The term can also be applied to inanimate objects. If a hot pan cools down, one might say, "Pann külmneb." Similarly, a drink that was once hot will eventually külmneb to room temperature.

In a more figurative sense, külmneb can describe a decline in enthusiasm or a loss of warmth in a relationship, though this usage is less common than its literal temperature-related meaning. The verb can be conjugated in various tenses and moods to express different nuances of the cooling process. For instance, "külmus" refers to the past tense, "it cooled down," while "hakka külmuma" or "hakkab külmuma" indicates the beginning of the cooling process, "starts to cool down."
