"You are hot."

Translation: Tu as chaud.

[disc33]

Can this also be taken figuratively? As a pick up line?

[deactivated user]

You have to use être instead of avoir. "Tu es chaud(e)." Make sure you use the correct adjective form. Whether to pronounce that 'd' or not matters. ;)

[stripedkitty]

Used it. Maybe my mind is elsewhere, but I actually thought that's what Duo was trying to say ('hot stuff' so to speak, nothing more!) Anyway, not accepted.

[smatprabby]

Can't it be "Tu es chaud"?

[Seattle_Scott]

No, that means "you're sexy hot", not physically hot. And if you say it about yourself then it means you're hot, as "in the mood".

[smatprabby]

Ah, d'accord. Merci.

[Stardust103158]

This is helpful to know.

[Stardust103158]

Hey, I was going with that version too.

[Rehannah]

can "Tu as chaude" be accepted?

[AmitVaid3]

Yes. Tu means you. You is gender neutral and can refer to either masculine or feminine genders. So, if you are speaking to a boy, you will use 'Tu as chaud', and if you are speaking to a girl, you will use 'Tu as chaude'.

At least, this is what I understand. But I am just learning. So, a comment by an experienced user will be appreciated.

[AmitVaid3]

I am not so sure about 'Tu as chaude'.
It seems chaud and froid behave as EXCEPTIONS when talking about a person's temperature.

J'ai chaud.
Vous avez chaud.
Tu as chaud.
Elle a chaud.
Il a chaud.

Same goes for froid.

[Seattle_Scott]

The verb is "avoir" and chaud and froid don't agree with the noun. So it's "nous avons chaud, elle a chaud" etc. It would agree if you used être to say "I am hot" as in "je suis chaud, elle est chaude", but that has an entirely different meaning. ahem. Don't confuse them unintentionally.

[PhillipStanley]

You are correct!

[wyt230143]

why is it "as" not "es"?

[redCT]

SO disappointing when Duo rejected my "Vous êtes chaude" !

[clinty456]

Because you've got the verb wrong. It should be "avez".

[sarah_beck72]

But when you click on the word for help, one of the options that they give you is vous êtes

[cyborg99]

those aren't always correct answers or answers at all, just a simple array of direct translations or related translations

[Jackie22766]

Me too.

[Mari221844]

Whatever

[Skinnless]

I thought "as" is the form of have

[AmitVaid3]

It is. But when we talk about a person's temperature, it behaves as an EXCEPTION!
Remember, we say 'You have cold' in English!

[UmekoWasTaken]

. . . we don't though. we say, "you are cold".

[Tankiun]

Do we pronounce the "s" in the word "as"?

[Omneya550195]

No we don't unless it's followed by a word starting with a vowel.
