How do you say “It’s 30 degrees.” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
It’s _ degrees.
今 _ 度(℃)だって。
ima _ do datte
In Japan, we use Celsius(℃) instead of Fahrenheit(℉).
When you want to say “It’s _ degrees.”, put the temperature just before “度”.
For example, if you want to say “It’s 30 degrees.”, you can say like this :
今30度(℃)だって。
ima sanjuu do datte
“今 (ima)” means “now”, “度 (do)” means “degrees”. You can either write “30度” or “30℃”.
今
now
＋
30度
30 degrees
If you want to speak politely, you can say :
今30度(℃)です。
ima sanjuu do desu
