How do you say the degrees in Spanish?

Question

Like How would you say "it is 60 degrees Farenheit"? I forget if you use "a" or "de" or wat something else.

You must use proper grammar, spelling, capitalization, etc. on this site. There are people trying to learn English as well as Spanish. - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, May 29, 2010

Answer 1

Estamos a sesenta grados. This construction is where the "a" comes in.

discussing temperature

¡Bienvenida al foro!

Welcome to the forum!

Would you use this when it's 60 outside (the subject of the statement) but 72 indoors? - geofc, May 29, 2010

It translates as "it is...". I think that its use is similar to English. You use additional qualifiers to distinguish indoors/outdoors. Alone I would assume that it means outdoors. If your wish to refer to indoor temperature you would have to declare - 0074b507, May 30, 2010

that context. - 0074b507, May 30, 2010

Answer 2

This is pure curiosity and not linguistically oriented. How many Spanish speaking countries, if any, use the Fahrenheit scale?

It's only a matter of time until that scale disappears. Let's hope that its use is not spreading. - 0074b507, May 30, 2010

The same with the entire English system of weights and measurements. - 0074b507, May 30, 2010

I can only hope that the U.S. converts to the metric system!! - --Mariana--, May 30, 2010

Even the Amrican Gallon is not the same as an English Gallon - ian-hill, Dec 19, 2010

Answer 3

we can say in Spanish something like those sentences: -"Hace mucho calor hoy. ¿Cuántos grados hará?" -"Debe estar haciendo 15 grados" (15 degrees celcius = 59 degrees fahrenheit) where 'grados' means degrees celcius.

if we talk about a degrees of something, we can say: - "La temperatura del horno está a 200 grados" - "La temperatura de éste horno es de 200 grados" - "El Hierro se funde temperaturas mayores a 1259 °C" I hope it help you.

Answer 4

Son sesenta grados Fahrenheit.
