"Es ist kalt!"

Translation:It is cold.

August 10, 2017

Does this mean an object or the weather?

Mod

Could be either.

The pronoun 'it' can mean any object being weather,animal,water or anything.

Can i say "Das ist kalt!"? They are interchangeable?

Mod

They are interchangeable?

They are not.

das (that) is used to talk about something new.

es (it) is used to talk about something you have spoken about before.

That said, Das ist kalt! (That is cold!) is also a grammatical sentence.
