The cold can cause the extremities to fall asleep, without feeling. This lack of movement also occurs when a hand or foot, for example, has been in the same position for a long time. A term that refers to this sensation may come to mind. However, there may be more than one.
Numb received 92% of the votes, while the remaining 8% of those consulted opted for swollen
Last week we asked our followers on our Instagram account What word would they use to indicate that the hands are paralyzed due to the cold? The options we proposed were numb y swollen. Although the clear winner was numbthe people who voted for swollen They were not wrong either.
There are some verbs in Spanish that can be used with the meaning of ‘leaving or remaining a slightly paralyzed or rigid limb’. Among them are go numb o get excited. Although, according to our survey, the first is more frequent among speakers, it is not more correct than the second. Therefore, the participles formed from both are fully valid. In addition to these two voices, others can also be used such as fall sleep), fall asleep o cuddle up.
We want to remember that these surveys do not have any scientific purpose, as they only help us to know what terms are used by the speakers who dare to participate. We appreciate the responses from our followers and we invite you to give your opinion on future occasions on our Instagram account.
