Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses two adjectives whose semantic meaning relates to temperature – hladan in Serbian and holodnyj in Russian. The adjectives discussed are the most dominant representatives of the lexemes that contain semantic component ‘temperature under average’, which is the reason why they are analyzed in more detail. The aim of this paper is therefore to determine whether the temperature value of adjectives hladan and holodnyj is always negatively perceived, or their perception can vary depending on the context.
