breeze and wind, light wind?

Hi dear friends of languages,

I suppose breeze is similar to the wind in its meaning. However, it should always be less strong than the wind. Am I right? I know it is possible to say light breeze. My question is: Is it also possible to say: light wind?

Thank you for your answers Mowgli

Breeze is itself the term for 'lighter wind'. I know you can say ' gentle wind' but I dont think anyone says light wind. You can also say light air, which again is breeze.

Hi, Mowgli,

Yes, you can say light wind. The BBI dictionary gives balmy/gentle/light wind as synonyms.

Cheers!
