Questions & Answers about קר בחוץ, ולכן אני לובשת כובע, צעיף וכפפות.

Why does קר בחוץ not have a word for it is?

Why is it קר and not something like קרה?

In קר בחוץ, the word קר is used in an impersonal way, meaning it’s cold. In this kind of weather expression, Hebrew commonly uses the masculine singular form.

Compare:

• קר בחוץ = It’s cold outside
• המרק קר = The soup is cold
• הילדה קרה would mean the girl is cold/cold-natured, using feminine agreement

So here, קר is the standard form for the general statement about the weather.
