uncomfortably but not severely cold
A little too cold in a way that does not feel nice, especially in the air or in a room.
用法パターン：
[something] is chilly; [someone] feels chilly
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "chilly" with "chili" (the spicy food or pepper), which are different words with different spellings. They may also use "chilly" for extremely low, freezing temperatures; in those cases, words like "freezing" or "icy" are more natural. Another confusion is between "chilly" and "chill"; "chilly" is mainly an adjective for temperature, while "chill" is more often a noun or verb.

emotionally cold or unfriendly
Not friendly or warm in the way you speak or act to someone.
用法パターン：
[someone] gives [someone] a chilly [reaction]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think "chilly" here means that a person is relaxed or "cool" in a positive way. In this emotional sense, "chilly" is negative and means not friendly or warm. It is also more about behavior or attitude in a situation (a chilly reply, a chilly reception) than about a basic personality trait.
類義語
frosty (Very similar; often a bit stronger and more clearly disapproving than "chilly.")
|
distant (Focuses on emotional or social distance rather than temperature; can sound slightly more formal or psychological.)
|
cold (More general and often stronger; can suggest a lack of human feeling, not just politeness without warmth.)
対義語
warm (Describes friendly and kind behavior, the opposite of emotionally cold or chilly behavior.)
|
welcoming (Emphasizes making someone feel accepted and comfortable, the opposite of a chilly reception.)
|
friendly (General opposite for a person's manner or attitude toward others.)
