What is 'hot and cold' when translated from English to Italian?

Answer 1

The singular calda e fredda and the plural calde e fredde in the feminine and the singular caldo e freddoand the plural caldi e freddi in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "hot and cold." Context makes clear whether the reference is to someone or something (cases 1, 3) or somebodies or somethings (examples 2, 4) feminine (instances 1, 2) or masculine (samples 3, 4) even though newbie language-speakers generally opt for the masculine singular no matter what. The respective pronunciations will be "KAL-da ey FRED-da" and "KAL-dey FRED-dey" in the feminine and "KAL-do ey FRED-do" and "KAL-dee ey FRED-dee" in the masculine in Italian.

Answer 2

"Cold and hot" in English is freddo e caldo in Italian. The masculine singular phrase may be replaced by the singular fredda e calda or the plural fredde e calde in the feminine or by the plural freddi e caldi in the masculine since gender (feminine or masculine) and number (singular or plural) determine the precise answer. The respective pronunciations will be "FRED-da ey KAL-da" or FRED-dey KAL-dey" in the feminine and "FRED-do ey KAL-do" or "FRED-dee o KAL-dee" in the masculine in Italian.
