I am very cold in Spanish?

Yo tengo mucho frio ... yes, that's correct. It literally means 'I have much cold'. In Spanish, you can't literally say 'I am very cold', 'Soy muy frio' ... because the people would interpret that to mean that you have a ual problem (you're frigid). At the other end of the spectrum, if you literally say, 'I am hot', that means you're horny. And if you say, 'I am VERY hot', well ... that means that you're horny as hell. That's why you say, 'Tengo mucho calor', which basically means, 'I have much heat', as opposed to 'Estoy muy caliente'.
