Pues un viento puede ser frío o caluroso, fuerte o ligero, pero ¿"gloomy"? Lo que has descrito me parece más un "chill wind".

Gloomy was already defined earlier in the thread.
oscuro (sombrío is another meaning) |

Rusty.
Your answer was very clear thank you. Then this can be used in this phrase. The night is too glommy that I don't find the light of my street.

pjt33 and villa et al. in madrid i found it like london - most people were
very clear in their speech, and some spoke the variant/dialect of their place of birth. i learned spanish in the dominican republic, so some of the regional differences in spain were confusing to my ear. 90% of the conversations in madrid, aranjuez, and toledo were understood 'bien clarito'. to the north american english ear, some of the uk regional variations are unintelligible over the telephone; better in person. hermit |

@pjt: ¿cómo dirías "un viento que da miedo (estremecedor)"? Chilling wind?

Ahora que lo pienso, no estoy seguro si el mensaje original era traducir gloomy wind al español. Quizás no se use de esa manera en inglés, por lo que te causa confusión. O simplemente yo estoy equivocado. ![]() |

Gracias, pjt.
@Hernán: creo que era al revés... a la hora de traducir la cualidad del viento, en inglés no resulta comprensible como "gloomy". ![]()

I live only a few miles from her home (Howarth) and from the house described in the book. Wuthering is a local dialect word still in occasional use. Wild and windy. The word also conjures up the wetness and the darkness of this bleak exposed moorland area. |
