暖かい vs. 温かい

Postby Loki64_500765 » December 1st, 2014 1:46 pm

Hello,
Could you please explain what is difference beetween those words? As i see 暖かい can be use only with connection to weater (米は暖かい気候のところで育つ) and 温かい is for warm as general(example: 彼女は心の温かい人です or 温かいスープが飲みたい)?

Thank you for answer :)

Loki64 san,

Konnnichiwa.

Basically
温かい is used to things you can touch or you can feel in your heart.

暖かい is used to weathers.
I hope it could be helpful.
