frileux et chaleureux

[kalhypso]

bonjour à tous
J'aurais une petite question: comment dit-on en anglais "frileux"(une personne qui a facilement froid)[…]
merciiii!!!

frileux = sensitive to the cold

 

[jp_fr_linguaphile]

Another translation of "frileux" would be "cold-natured."

 

[white_ray]

That said:
"I have cold feet" / "I'm sensitive to cold" = "Je suis frileux"?
Is there another way of saying it? A more colloquial one?

For frileux you can say my blood is thin or I have thin blood

 

[Keith Bradford]

Etre frileux:
in formal English: to feel the cold (easily); to be susceptible/sensitive to the cold
in informal English: to be a chilly mortal; (northern UK) to be nesh

Thank you both for the colloquial suggestions.

I’m always using this expression in French/Spanish/Portuguese and couldn’t find an equivalent in English.
The WR translates “nesh” differently though?

Is this “to be a chilly mortal” a humorous one or would you really say that very naturally?

Thanks again for your help!

Nesh may well translate as 'mou', insofar as mou = susceptible au froid, aux blessures, à la peur, etc.

Yes and yes. But that's me.

The French expression is new to me but I reckon we'd also say "she /he feels the cold" (as a possible substitute for 'sensitive to the cold') since white_ray asked for something more colloquial.
