fría

/ˈfɾia/ · A2 · noun · f

beer

fría — beer

🍺 fría = a cold one: the adjective cold (fría) stands in for cerveza

Fría is the feminine of frío (cold), from Latin frigidus, the root of English frigid and fridge. Cerveza is feminine, so una cerveza fría gets clipped to una fría, just as English says a cold one.
