Celsius To Fahrenheit ℃/℉

Welcome to Speak Chinese Now, I'm Teacher Li. Do you know how to say Celsius and Fahrenheit? We're going to dive into it, right? Are you ready? Celsius. 射氏 Right? Celsius. Then, Fahrenheit. 华氏 See the symbols are different, right? One was a C with a little circle. The other one is F. It stands for Fahrenheit. And, you know, C is Celsius. Right? Let's take a look at Beijing. Do you know where Beijing is? That's where I came from. So, there is China map. You see somewhere right here. It's the capital city of China. So, Beijing, right? Do you think Beijing uses 射氏 or 华氏? Beijing uses 射氏, right? So, 射氏. Let's take a look. 射氏, right? So, take a look right here. I'm going to give you, let's see, a sentence structure. This is how you say the Celsius and the temperature. So, you say 射氏. Then, you add the number, you know, the degree. Then, you finish with, say, 度. So, I'm going to give you an illustration here. If it's zero Celsius, you say 射氏零度. Did you get that? So, come from here, right? You got to get this in your head. The 射氏 first. The Celsius. Then, the number. Then, finish with 度, degree. So, 零度. So, that looks like 射氏零度, right? We're going to move to 10 degrees Celsius. 射氏十度. You got it? So, there's some numbers involved, right? If it's 20, you say 射氏二十度, right? 二十度. That's how you say it. Now, how do you say Celsius at 30 degrees? You say 射氏三十度, right? Then, here it is. You can just summarize it by saying, here's the 温度. 温度 is temperature, right? 温度在. 在 is at, right? You can say 温度在射氏. Then, you give a number. You finish with 度, right? Let's see. I think I just checked. In Beijing, let's say this is 23 degrees Celsius. How do we say that? Let's put it all together. We have to say Beijing, though. Now, we're going to build the sentence first. Let's say 23 degrees Celsius. How do you say it? Right here. You say 射氏二十三度, right? Then, you say 射氏二十三度. So, remember that. We're going to go back to Beijing. Say, 北京的温度是, right? 温度 or 气温. There's another way to say 气温, right? 气 is air, 温 is short for temperature, right? Air temperature. So, you can say 温度 or 气温. 北京的温度 or 北京的气温在射氏二十三度, right? You basically said the temperature in Beijing is 23 degrees Celsius. Isn't that cool? So, I want you to maybe take a look where you are and Google it and find out what is the degree, what is the Celsius degree in your area. Can you say that, right? You can just say 温度在二, and 射氏, right? And 温度 is coming from here. 温度在射氏, give me a number, then 度, finish it, right? It's exciting. You're able to say it, right? To say the Celsius, how many degrees. Now, we're going to move to, are you ready? Very hot. Here's New York. Here's where New York is. Now, this is where I live. This is the United States. It's interesting, though. When I was little, I lived in Beijing. In Beijing and New York, it's about the similar, what do you call it, latitude? Yeah, about the same latitude. The same weather, kind of they have four distinguished four seasons. You have to have four season clothes, so you have a lot of clothes. If you don't have winter clothes, it's going to be cold. I'm here, 纽约, right, 纽约? So, let's say 华氏, 华氏 is Fahrenheit. We're going to start building our sentences. 华氏, Fahrenheit. The structure is the same. You say 华氏, and you add a number, right, as far as how many degrees you got to have that. Then you finish with 度, right? For example, we have 32 degrees Fahrenheit. So, 32 degrees Fahrenheit is zero degree in Celsius. Do you know that? That's the number you should remember, right? When people say, oh, 32 degrees Fahrenheit, you know is zero degree in Celsius, right? Let's say, how do you put this together by saying 32 Fahrenheit, 32 degrees Fahrenheit? This is how you say it. 华氏, start with 华氏, 华氏 is Fahrenheit. 华氏三十二度, 三十二度, finish with 度, right? So, you basically said it's 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This is how you say it, 华氏三十二度. Now, we're going to move to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. So, you use the same template. You say, 华氏, 华氏, Fahrenheit, 五十度, 华氏, 五十度. You just said 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Congratulations, that's a lot. Now, we're going to move to, you can say, 温度在, 温度 is right here, or 气温在, 气温, like I said, is similar to temperature. 气 is air, 温 is short for 温度, temperature. So, air temperature, right? So, let's, for now, just use 温度, right? We're going to put short phrase first, and then we're going to expand to long sentence. Let's say, 温度在, 温度 is right here, 温度在, 在 is at. 温度在, let's say, in New York. Right now, let's say, 70 degrees, 70 degrees, right? 温度在七十度, 温度在七十度. Actually, it's warmer, I think 78. 温度在七十八度, right? So, let's put the sentence together by saying, in New York, the temperature is 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Are you ready? You start from New York. 纽约的温度, or 气温能在, 在 is at. Then you use 华氏 Fahrenheit. Give me the number. 七十八, 78. Then you finish with 度, right? I want you to also take a look. I don't think other countries use this Fahrenheit, right? I did a little bit of research here. Here's a calculation of how you get Fahrenheit from Celsius, right? And 摄氏, 摄氏, it came from 1742. It came out, it's interesting though, by a Swedish astronomer. How do you say that? So, it's a 1724 astronomer, right? Astronomer. Astronomer has to do with the, you know, star, things like that, right? So, it was introduced then, and it's pretty standard. Zero degree, zero degree Celsius. A hundred degree is a boiling point. It's pretty easy. Somehow, I think a British, not British, maybe this is not British, but British also used the Fahrenheit for many years, right? Oh, Fahrenheit is created, was created 1724, so Celsius was 1742. It's about the same era. So, we've got two different systems. You can imagine in, you know, different countries, they're trying to adapt different systems, right? Fahrenheit is by a German, is Dutch or German? Dutch, right? Then Fahrenheit, as you see, is used in, that's United States, right? Here is Alaska. A few islands, such as Virgin Island, things like that. Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, I think, is a small island. Majority of the countries in the whole world, they're using Celsius, right? So, there is a little conversion here. A few things you need to know, you know, for instance, zero degree Celsius is 32 degree in Fahrenheit, and that will help you to set your, kind of know where it is. If people say, oh, 40 Celsius, 40 degree Celsius, you're like, is that cold, is that hot? You don't know. It is hot. 40 degree Celsius is hot. But, you know, I'm so used to nowadays, I lived in America for so long, I'm so used to Fahrenheit. Sometimes I have to kind of convert in my head to Celsius. I grew up in China with Celsius. There's definitely conversion. Now, if we say, let's say, 85 degree, 100 degrees, and normally we're referring to Fahrenheit, that's pretty hot, pretty hot, like 40 degree Celsius. But, you know, when you say 100 degrees, you feel like it's boiling, but it's not boiling, it's just hot, right? Okay. Isn't that interesting? Do you find this whole system? And maybe, you know, for you to take a look at this chart, that will help you kind of set in your head, you know, where you are as far as, you know, Celsius and the Fahrenheit. I find these two systems, I run into these two systems quite often. Living in America, you have to use Fahrenheit. But when you start traveling around the world, anywhere, they are Celsius. So, let's go ahead and get this to our head. We'll go back to this. This is how you say it. You plus a number, whatever number it is, and then you finish with 度. That's how you say it. Now, Fahrenheit, same, follow the same pattern. You just switch 摄氏 to 华氏. Now, 华氏 plus a number, then plus 度, right? You can say 华氏三十二度,华氏五十度, right? Just remember how to say it. And understand 摄氏 is referring to Celsius. Actually, it's similar to the sound of Celsius, right? 摄氏. Now, 华氏, I'm sure, started with the F sound, and it's Fahrenheit. We use it as 华氏, but it's not translated as a 华 sound. And not translated as F sound, but it's 华氏. 摄氏, 华氏. Okay, let's get that into your head. And so, when you're traveling, you kind of know how to describe the weather and the temperature. I have many videos. I want you to watch other videos and keep learning.
