뜻
Feeling a high temperature.
문화적 배경
In the Terai, heat is a serious health concern. People often stay indoors from 12 PM to 4 PM and drink 'Mohi' (buttermilk) to cool down. Kathmandu residents find 30°C to be 'extreme garmi', whereas people from the plains find it pleasant. It's all relative! Nepali culture classifies foods as 'Tato' (heating) or 'Chiso' (cooling). If you have a 'Garmi' body type, you are advised to avoid spicy food. Complaining about 'Garmi' is a way to bond. It's common to start a conversation with a sigh and 'Kasto garmi!'
The Dative Rule
Always remember 'Malai' (to me). If you forget it, you're calling yourself the weather!
Tato vs Garmi
Never say 'Garmi chiya'. It's a classic beginner mistake that makes locals smile.

Intensity
Add 'साह्रै' (sahrai) or 'ज्यादै' (jyadai) before 'Garmi' to sound more like a native speaker complaining about the heat.
Small Talk
If you don't know what to say to a Nepali person, just say 'Aaja ta garmi cha hai?' and they will talk for 5 minutes.

자주 묻는 질문
5 질문No, that is not used in Nepali and would be misunderstood. Use words for 'beautiful' or 'handsome' instead.
'Garmi cha' means it is hot right now. 'Garmi huncha' means it is generally hot (e.g., in the summer).
You can say 'गर्मी बढ्दैछ' (Garmi baddhaicha) or 'गर्मी हुन थाल्यो' (Garmi hun thalyo).
It is technically a noun meaning 'heat', but it functions like an adjective in many English translations.
The opposite is 'Jado' (जाडो) for weather and 'Chiso' (चिसो) for objects/feeling.
