hot
/ˈxot/ · B2 · adj
hot
🔥 hot sounds like English hot, but Spanish j-sound: /xot/ — same meaning, borrowed
Spanish jot, written hot, is a loanword from English hot, kept with the same meaning of sexy or attractive. Only the first sound changes: the h is pronounced like a rough throat sound, /x/. Same spelling, same idea, harsher start.
