How it's used
Describes a sharp, biting wind that feels physically painful or piercing. It is often used in literary contexts or when describing particularly harsh winter weather conditions. While it can be used in casual conversation, it carries a slightly more descriptive or dramatic tone than simply saying 風好大 or 天氣好凍.
