chilly generally means "a little bit cold" and cold is all encompassing, but also used for more extreme cold temperatures. Colloquially, we say chilly for very cold weather more as humor/sarcasm. |

Following on from Douglas�s answer, I would say chilly is mainly used to describe the weather and cold can be used in all contexts - food, drinks, hands etc and how you feel: it�s chilly, I�m cold�. Food can be chilled but not chilly. |

Hi metcet20, you are right. I enjoy answering such queries and I know other members do, as well. Quite often, it is helpful to hear from a native speaker and you get an insight that you simply can�t from the dictionary. Interestingly, we sometimes even disagree about meanings and interpretations, but we can always shed some extra light, I think. We are here to help. Well, I am! Lynne |
