意思
Commenting on the high temperature of a place.
文化背景
The 'Heat Index' (Damang Init) is a daily topic on news. When someone says 'Mainit dito', they are often referring to the humidity as much as the temperature. Hand fans (paypay) are a common accessory. If you say 'Mainit dito', expect someone to offer you a fan or point you toward an electric fan. The concept of 'Presko' is the opposite of 'Mainit'. Filipinos value feeling 'presko' (cool/fresh), which is why taking multiple baths a day is common. Malls are considered 'public cooling centers'. It is culturally acceptable to spend hours in a mall just to escape the heat at home.
The 'Po' Rule
Always insert 'po' if you are a guest in someone's home and want to mention the heat politely: 'Mainit po dito'.
Personal Heat
Avoid saying 'Mainit ako' unless you want people to check your forehead for a fever.
