11 Temperature
Temperatures in French are written as in the tables below. Note the space in French between the figure and the degree sign and letter indicating the scale. When the scale letter is omitted, temperatures are written thus: 20° ; 98,4° etc. (French has a comma, where English has a decimal point).Note also that there is no capital on centigrade in French ; capital C is however used as the abbreviation for Celsius and centigrade as in 60 °C.For how to say numbers in French ⇒ Numbers.100 °C 212 °F température d’ébullition de l’eau (boiling point)90 °C 194 °F80 °C 176 °F70 °C 158 °F60 °C 140 °F50 °C 122 °F40 °C 104 °F37 °C 98,4 °F30 °C 86 °F20 °C 68 °F10 °C 50 °F0 °C 32 °F température de congélation de l’eau (freezing point)-10 °C 14 °F-17,8 °C 0 °F-273,15 °C -459,67 °F le zéro absolu (absolute zero)-15°C= -15 °C (moins quinze degrés Celsius)the thermometer says 40°= le thermomètre indique quarante degrésabove 30°C= plus de trente degrés Celsiusover 30° Celsius= plus de trente degrés Celsiusbelow 30°= en dessous de trente degrésPeoplebody temperature is 37°C= la température du corps est de* 37 °C (trente-sept degrés Celsius)what is his temperature?= quelle est sa température?his temperature is 38°= il a trente-huit (de* température)* The de is obligatory here.Thingshow hot is the milk? or what temperature is the milk?= à quelle température est le lait?it’s 40°C= il est à 40 °Cwhat temperature does water boil at?= à quelle température l’eau bout-elle?it boils at 100°C= elle bout à 100 °Cat a temperature of 200°= à une température de deux cents degrésA is hotter than B= A est plus chaud que BB is cooler than A= B est moins chaud que AB is colder than A= B est plus froid que AA is the same temperature as B= A est à la même température que BA and B are the same temperature= A et B sont à la même températureWeatherwhat’s the temperature today?= quelle température fait-il aujourd’hui?
