mrznúci

Mrznúci is a Slovak word that translates to "freezing" in English. It is primarily used to describe temperatures that are at or below the freezing point of water, which is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This can refer to the ambient air temperature, as in "je mrznúce počasie" (it's freezing weather), or to specific conditions like a "mrznúci dážď" (freezing rain) which can create hazardous icy surfaces. The word can also be used figuratively to describe a feeling of intense cold, even if the temperature is not technically below freezing, conveying a sensation of deep chill. In a more general sense, mrznúci can imply a state of being very cold, stiff, or inactive due to low temperatures. The concept of freezing is fundamental in meteorology, affecting weather patterns, agriculture, and daily life in regions experiencing cold climates.
