Question

The weather is getting chiller as I leave the building.- Pls correct this sentence

Ter · Accepted Answer

um...... usually it's just "getting chilly" rather than "getting chillier"...... though "chillier" isn't grammatically wrong.

Avangi · Answer

It doesn't seem quite idiomatic. When you speak of the weather, you're usually speaking of the weather outdoors. The change would be gradual, and surely not timed with your leaving the building. Perhaps you are getting colder as you leave the building.
It sounds like you're trying to compare the weather outside the building with the weather inside the building.
Perhaps you mean, "As I leave the building I notice that the weather is getting/ has grown chiller (more chill).
That is, you're comparing the weather now to the weather last time you were outdoors.

I'm not familiar with this particular comparative: chill, chiller, chillest.
To me, "chiller" is a noun describing a piece of refrigeration equipment.
"Chill" can be a noun, an adjective, or a verb.
