Hi, everyone!

It is sooo hot in Moscow! What phrases do you use in your languages to say that it is too hot. In Russia we say Жарко как в аду! (as hot as in hell)
))

There was once a thread here on this topic. "Жахливо спекотньо!" (transliteration: zhahlyvo spekotnio) - which in Ukrainian means it�s terribly hot. Sophia

Thanks, but there are only English phrases in that post. What do you say in your languages? Spanish, French, German, Polish, Italian...
That �s interesting |

Wow, it is hard to find some popular fixed phrases in Polish. You can certainly say the same simile (as hot as in hell) in Polish => "Goraco jak w piekle", but it is not commonly used. I �d rather say "Upał jak diabli" :) Sorry won �t translate it. such phrases often can �t be translated literally. |

"Es un horno" "Hace un calor infernal" "Esto es un infierno" "Est� recalcinante"
BTW. what temp do you feel it is extremely hot there, in Russia?
Just out of curiosity, as I have always imagined temps are lower there than here, in Argentina

The temperature in Athens is something like 35-37 C these days, so we say "βράζει ο τόπος", meaning that the soil is boiling, or "σκάει ο τζίτζικας" which suggests that even the cicada, a type of cricket that enjoys high temperatures, cannot stand the heat. Don �t take me wrong, I like the summer, but sometimes it �s unbearable...  |
