Hadazamui (肌寒い - Chilly)

Hadazamui

It is raining today, so I feel a little cold air in spite of summer.

To feeling a cold like this is expressed as 'hadazamui' (肌寒い) in Japanese.

'Hada' (肌) means "skin" and 'zamui/samui' (寒い) means "to feel cold."

That is to say, hadazamui literally means to feel a little cold on your skin.

However, since 'hadazamu' (肌寒) was originally a season word for autumn in haiku (俳句 - Japanese seventeen-syllable poems), traditionally, this term was used from the end of summer to the beginning of autumn.
