- Lucas: Ciao Luna, welcome back to Learn Italian with Fexingo. Episode 112. Luna: Ciao Lucas! You know, last episode we talked about cold weather — fa freddo. But today, it is sweltering here. Lucas: Oh, so you want to talk about hot weather? Perfect. Let's start with the most basic one: fa caldo. It means 'it's hot'. Luna: Fa caldo. Fa caldo. Lucas: Yes. Now, how do you say 'I'm hot'? Ho caldo. Luna: Ho caldo. Ho caldo. That's easy. Lucas: Exactly. And if you're really feeling the heat, you can exclaim: Che caldo! 'What heat!' or 'It's so hot!'. Luna: Che caldo! Yeah, that is perfect for today. Lucas: Let's hear all three together. Repeat after me: fa caldo, ho caldo, che caldo. Luna: Fa caldo, ho caldo, che caldo. Got it. Lucas: Now, imagine you're at home and you want to say 'turn on the fan'. That's: accendi il ventilatore. Luna: Accendi il ventilatore. That's a long one. Accendi il ventilatore. Lucas: You've got it. And a common phrase: fa molto caldo oggi — 'it's very hot today'. Luna: Fa molto caldo oggi. I can already use that. Lucas: And finally, when you need to cool down: bevo un po' d'acqua — 'I drink some water'. Luna: Bevo un po' d'acqua. Perfect. Let me try them all in a row. Fa caldo, ho caldo, che caldo, accendi il ventilatore, fa molto caldo oggi, bevo un po' d'acqua. Lucas: Fantastic. You sound ready for summer.
