熱 - heat - calor

Word:
  • 熱い ATSUi
  • English: hot
  • Spanish: caliente
Sentence:
  • 彼はスープが熱すぎると文句を言った
  • kare ha suupu ga atsusugiru to monku wo itta
  • He complained of the soup being too hot
  • Se quejo de que la sopa estaba demasiado caliente
Mnemonics:
  • Imagine that this Kanji gives a very intense red thanks to its components. The lower part is fire, its like a gas stove, where you are cooking. Then we have a ball 丸 which represents a round pan where you are cooking. Then we have earth 土 and something similar to red 赤, so you can imagine some red product from the earth like an eggplant. So you are cooking an eggplant with strong fire and all is red, which gives you the idea of heat!!
  • Important: this is hot for things, for weather we have 暑い atsui
