意思
Expressing feeling a high temperature.
文化背景
Lithuanians often complain about the heat as a social bonding exercise. Even if they love the summer, saying 'Man karšta' is a way to start a conversation. In a traditional pirtis, saying 'Man karšta' might be met with a joke that it's not hot enough yet. It's a place where heat is respected and managed. There is a generational divide regarding air conditioning. Younger people will say 'Man karšta' and turn it on; older people might fear the 'skersvėjis' (draft). If a child says 'Man karšta', a Lithuanian grandmother will immediately feel their forehead with her lips to check for a fever.
The 'Sexy' Mistake
Avoid 'Aš esu karštas' at all costs in casual conversation unless you are flirting heavily.
Add 'Labai'
Lithuanians love to emphasize. 'Man labai karšta' sounds more natural when it's over 25°C.
