"Hace calor" - a shared experience.

I just finished lesson 1.14, Weather and the Verb Hacer, and was reminded of my experience in a taxi in Mexico. It was very warm. I summoned all my knowledge and courage and ventured to say, "Hace calor." The driver turned and replied, "Sí, es caliente." !!! I silently chuckled.

Lol. I don't think most people on this site will understand this. "Caliente" means warm but it can also have sexual connotations

I would edit your answer a bit... this is a family friendly site. Please find another way to express 'caliente' en English. Thanks! - NikkiLR, Mar 29, 2012

Sorry, those are the rules... We have to keep to clean. - NikkiLR, Mar 29, 2012
Although I knew what was meant, having lived in SA for 4 years and having had to deal with the double entendre, I, myself, was going to put up an explanation of the joke because I figured not many would get it. I think you said it perfectly! - ddonovan, Mar 29, 2012
