I don't enjoy the heat but the biting-to-the-bone-cold is not something I enjoy either

Windspirit (http://www.windspirit.co.za/) is a nicknam of a woman from Cape Town, South Africa. She runs her own business, working at home. I chose one paragraph from her last entry. Remember that the winter is just beginning there, the temperaure was only 13 °C in Cape Town yesterday, and she doesn´t seem to like it.

She writes:
The week has been long and today it has been cold. I don't enjoy the heat but the biting-to-the-bone-cold is not something I enjoy either. I can still be semi-productive when I am hot but I just cannot seem to concentrate when I am ultra cold. Now is the time to bring out the gas heater and make my little home a comfy place to be no matter the time of day.

“The week has been long and today it has been cold.“ – nice examples of using present perfect.

“I don't enjoy the heat but the biting-to-the-bone-cold is not something I enjoy either.” – notice that expresson “the biting-to-the-bone-cold” that was created with hyphens, (literally translated “zima kousající až na kost).

And notice also the last word – either. In this case it means “také ne”, tedy …”zima až na kost je něco, co taky nemám ráda.”) Some other examples: I don´t like him and I don´t think he likes me either. OR I haven´t been to South Africa. – I haven´t either. OR I didn´t see the movie either. As you can see, alll the sentences are negative. When the beginning of a sentence has a positive meanning, EITHER turns to NEITHER. For example: Make sence to you? Me neither. Dává ti to smysl? Mně ne.

“I can still be semi-productive when I am hot…” semi- = polo- (semiautomatic, semi-automatic = poloatomatický, semiannual, semi-annual = pololetní, semifeudal, semi-feudal = polofeduální atd.) Takže: Dokážu být napolovic výkonná, když je mi horko…

comfy = hovorově pohodlně, pohodlný

Have a nice weekend.
