1

extremely or sharply cold

Very, very cold in temperature, close to freezing.

الگوی کاربرد: [something] is icy / an icy [noun]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use "icy" for slightly cold things, where "cool" or "cold" would be more natural. "Icy" usually means very, often uncomfortably, cold.
هم‌معنی‌ها
freezing (Slightly more common in everyday speech; often used for both weather and feelings of cold.) | frigid (More formal or descriptive; can sound stronger or more dramatic than "icy".)
متضادها
warm (General opposite in terms of temperature, suggesting comfort rather than cold.) | mild (Describes comfortably not-cold weather, the opposite of harshly icy conditions.)

adjective A2 property
2

covered in ice, slippery

Having ice on the surface, often making it easy to slip or fall.

الگوی کاربرد: an icy [surface] / [place] is icy
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say "full of ice" or "with many ice" instead of using "icy" to describe a surface. Use "icy roads", "icy steps", etc., not "roads with many ice".
هم‌معنی‌ها
slippery (Focuses on the danger of slipping, not specifically on the presence of ice.) | frozen (Indicates that something has turned to ice or is solid from cold; not always about a thin, slippery layer.)
متضادها
dry (Lacking moisture or ice, and therefore usually safer to walk or drive on.) | clear (Used especially about roads and paths to mean free of ice or snow.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
icy roads |icy pavement |icy path |icy steps |icy conditions |icy sidewalks
موضوع‌ها
weather |transport |safety |nature

adjective B2 property
3

emotionally cold or unfriendly

Showing no warmth or kindness; acting cold and unfriendly toward other people.

الگوی کاربرد: an icy [tone/look/reply] / [someone] is icy toward [someone]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "icy" with "shy" or "quiet". "Icy" suggests a negative, unfriendly feeling, not just being silent or reserved.
هم‌معنی‌ها
cold (Very close in meaning but more general; can describe personality or behavior without the sharp edge "icy" often has.) | frosty (Often suggests a clearly unfriendly or hostile attitude, similar to "icy" but slightly more informal in tone.)
متضادها
warm (Describes a friendly, kind, and welcoming attitude, the opposite of "icy" behavior.) | friendly (Direct opposite in social interactions, suggesting openness and kindness.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
icy tone |icy reply |icy look |icy smile |icy reception |icy manner
موضوع‌ها
emotions |relationships |communication

4

calm, hard, and emotionless

Very calm and without any clear feeling on the face or in the voice, sometimes in a scary or strong way.

الگوی کاربرد: icy [calm/silence/stare/voice/determination]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may think "icy calm" just means "a little bit cold". Here, "icy" describes a very strong, almost frightening kind of calm with no sign of feeling.
هم‌معنی‌ها
impassive (Formal; focuses on showing no emotion, without the cold or threatening feeling that "icy" can have.) | chilly (Can describe emotionless or distant behavior, but is generally softer and less intense than "icy".)
متضادها
emotional (Shows strong, visible feelings, which is the opposite of an icy lack of emotion.) | soft (Suggests gentleness or emotional openness, the opposite of a hard, icy manner.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
icy calm |icy silence |icy stare |icy voice |icy determination |icy detachment
