- DoreenMichele 7y agoOy. For those who know no Spanish, the second translates as "I'm pregnant!" not "I'm embarrassed!" I'm not sure I remember exactly correctly, but you can't say "I'm hot" (Ich bin heise) in German because it will be taken to mean "I'm aroused." You have to say something more like "It's too warm in here." (schoen warm -- though that's usually spelled in German with an umlaut over the o, not an e after it, I'm just on a "dumb" American keyboard)
- froh 7y agoMir ist heiß = I'm hot Word by word: To-me it's hot While indeed I'm hot = I'm aroused
- DoreenMichele 7y agoI have trouble keeping the declensions of me straight in German. That's not a thing in the English language. Me just means Me. It's doesn't have other meanings attached, like "to me." Mich. Mir. Same thing, right???? 0_o
