Hot Springs & Baths

1. ئاوەکە زۆر گەرمە

   Aweke zor germe

   The water is very hot.

   Usage

   Says the bath or spring water is too hot

   Grammar Note

   ئاو 'water' takes the definite -ەکە. گەرم 'hot' takes the copula -ە. The initial ئ is silent. Composed from attested words and patterns rather than quoted from a source sentence; worth confirming with a native speaker.

2. ئاوەکە چەند گەرمە؟

   Aweke çend germe?

   How hot is the water?

   Usage

   Asks how hot the water is

   Grammar Note

   چەند + adjective means 'how … is it'. A specific temperature is answered with a number. Composed from attested words and patterns rather than quoted from a source sentence; worth confirming with a native speaker.

3. دەبێت پێشتر خۆم بشۆم؟

   Debêt pêştir xom bişom?

   Do I have to wash first?

   Usage

   Asks about the rule before entering a bath or spring

   Grammar Note

   دەبێت 'must' is followed by the subjunctive (بشۆم). خۆ + m is the reflexive 'myself'. Composed from attested words and patterns rather than quoted from a source sentence; worth confirming with a native speaker.
