A1 Expression 中性

Hace calor

It's hot

意思

Indicates that the temperature is high.

🌍

文化背景

In the south of Spain, temperatures can exceed 45°C. The phrase 'la calor' (feminine) is frequently heard colloquially, though 'el calor' is the standard. It's often used to emphasize the intensity of the heat. In northern Mexico, 'hace un calorón' is a common augmentative form used to describe the intense, dry desert heat. People often avoid the sun entirely between 12 PM and 4 PM. In the Caribbean, heat is almost always accompanied by high humidity. People might say 'hace un calor húmedo' or 'está pegajoso' (it's sticky) to describe the specific sensation. In Buenos Aires, the 'humedad' is the main complaint. You will often hear 'No es el calor, es la humedad' (It's not the heat, it's the humidity) as a standard response to 'hace calor'.

💡

The 'Mucho' Rule

Always use 'mucho' with 'hace calor'. If you say 'muy calor', people will understand you, but it sounds very 'gringo'.

⚠️

Avoid 'Soy caliente'

This is a common mistake that can lead to embarrassing misunderstandings, as it implies sexual arousal rather than feeling hot from the sun.

Use 'Qué'

To sound like a native, use '¡Qué calor!' instead of 'Hace mucho calor' when you are surprised by the temperature.
