How to Say ‘A little cold.’ in Simplified Chinese
有点儿冷。
yǒu diǎn ér lěng
[yǒudiǎnr lěng]
💬 Usage Tip: 有点儿 (yǒu diǎnr) before an adjective means "a bit" and usually hints at something unwelcome: 有点儿贵 "a bit pricey". The 儿 blends into the word before it, so it sounds like (diǎr) rather than a separate syllable.
