Thank you

Hi, Can I say 'It took me 2 weeks to overcome the cold'? Yes, although I'm not sure in what context you would use 'overcome'. How about 'It took me 2 weeks to get used to the cold'?

What if he's talking about cold=illness? Maybe "recover from the cold" or "get over the cold"?

Clive, I was shocked when I read your suggestion. Then I saw Tanit's reply and realized you were talking about the weather.

What's another way of saying "recover from my cold"?
