Maybe. {taD} is, as you know, "be frozen," so {taDchoH} means "become
frozen."
"Freeze" can be one of two things: transitive or intransitive. "The water
freezes" uses an intransitive "freeze," while "The ray gun freezes the
building" uses a transitive "freeze."
So, you need to tell us what you're saying.
taDchoH bIQ.
The water freezes.
qach taDmoH tIH HIch.
The ray gun freezes the building.
