this is why it's generally a good idea to ask questions ;)... thanks
for answering :)

well this has actually given me two different ways to handle this
situation... i could make cold into a noun:
seselora yest myo (it is cold/i am cold)
seselora to gaile yest myo (it is cold outside/i am cold the outside)
and since i have no word for refridgerator in narethanaal:
memenai to alkso yest myo (the soup is hot/i am hot the soup)
or as an adjective:
yest selora myo (it is cold/i am cold)
to gaile yest selora myo (i am cold outside/the outside is cold)
to alkso yest menai myo (the soup is hot)

well... up until this point i haven't been a big fan of adverbs but
the oppurtunity to make 'the fridge' an adverb is just too hard to
pass up so it definitely is one in the above sentences...
