♡You just said;
'It's cold.'
If you pick up something cold, you'd say 'Tsumetai desu!'
'That's cold!' If you eat 'kakigoori' (Japanese shaved ice),

you might say 'Tsumetai desu!' (*^o^*)
☆☆Depends on what you are referring to. Tsumetai can means;
tsumetai 冷たい : つめたい
1. cold (to the touch)
2. chilly
3. icy
4. freezing
5. cold hearted
☆Here's a reference check:

Hope this helps!♡

there are actually three meanings for this depending on the situation.

First - it's cold, as in this ice cube is cold.

second - you are cold - as in you're a cold person

third - that wasn't funny - in the situation where someone tells a bad joke, you can say tsumetai desu.

it depends... if you say
tsumetai to a food it means (cold)

tsumetai to a person it means (cold-hearted person)

desu makes the sentence polite...

Yes, you did say it is cold. tsumetai 冷たい is used to describe cold for liquid items, such as water or drinks. Cold weather and air temp is described as samui. 寒い

oriko has the best answer.

It is usually used to describe something (you touch) that is cold.

But also if someone is acting "cold" towards you.
