Learn Russian: Доброе утро! Кофе горячий.

Normally, Russian nouns ending in -е or -о are neuter (like утро). But кофе is a famous exception! It is a borrowed word and is historically masculine. That's why we use the masculine adjective горячий instead of the neuter горячее.

Where is the word for "is" in Кофе горячий?

In Russian, the present tense of the verb "to be" (am, is, are) is simply left out. To say "The coffee is hot," you just put the subject and the adjective together: "Coffee hot" (Кофе горячий).

Why does the word for "good" in Доброе утро end in -ое?

Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. The word for morning, утро, ends in -о and is a neuter noun. Therefore, the dictionary form of the adjective добрый changes to its neuter form, доброе.

Can I use горячий to say the weather is hot?

No, горячий is only used for things that are physically hot to the touch, like food, drinks, or water. If you want to talk about hot weather or feeling hot, you would use a different word, like жарко.
