て form of adjective in 'no matter how much' clause


My story book says this:

> どんなに寒いでも...
>
> No matter how cold it is ...

but my grammar book says this:

> どんなに寒くても...

Both of them seem reasonable to me. Are they both correct? Is there any
difference in nuance between them? Could I also translate the first sentence
(or indeed the second) as "Even if it is so cold..."? Thanks




どんなに寒くても...(No matter how cold it is...) is correct, but どんなに寒いでも is
incorrect. Maybe it was a typo of どんなに寒い日でも or something.

You form the phrase this way:

with i-adjectives: 「どんなに/どれほど+連用形(～く)+て+も」  
eg. 「どんなに忙しくても」「どんなに古くても」

with na-adjectives: 「どんなに/どれほど+連用形(～で)+も」  
eg. 「どんなにきれいでも」「どんなに好きでも」

with nouns: 「どんなに/どれほど+(adjective)+noun+で+も」  
eg. 「どんなにきれいな花でも」「どんなに忙しい人でも」




どんなに寒くても...(No matter how cold it is...) is correct, but どんなに寒いでも is
