What is very hot in Japanese?

Answer 1

'Very hot' in Japanese isとても暑い (totemo atsui) orとても熱い (totemo atsui). Both are pronounced the same, but the kanji are different for 'atsui'. The first (暑い) is used only for weather and the like, while熱い is used for objects.

Examples:

• このお茶はとても熱い (kono ocha wa totemo atsui) - "This tea is very hot." (notice that an object is hot.)
• 今日はとても暑いですね (kyou wa totemo atsui ne) - "It's very hot today, isn't it?" (talking about the weather.)
