Questions & Answers about Het is nog warm.
Why does nog translate to "still" here? I thought it meant "yet".
Nog is a very flexible word that usually means "still" when describing an ongoing situation. It only translates to "yet" when combined with a negative word, like in the phrase nog niet (not yet).
Can warm also mean "hot" in Dutch?
Yes! While Dutch has a specific word for "hot" (heet), people often use warm to describe both warm and hot weather. You will frequently hear het is warm even on a very hot summer day.
Is het is (it is) always used for weather and temperature in Dutch?
Exactly! Just like in English, Dutch uses the pronoun het (it) to talk about the weather, temperature, and time. Since there isn't a specific person or object making it warm, we just use het.
