Heiß is a versatile word that can be used to describe both temperature and the sensation of heat. When referring to temperature, heiß typically means 'hot', as in 'the coffee is hot'. However, it can also mean 'warm', especially when used to describe weather or water temperature. For example, 'the water in the lake is warm' would be translated as 'das Wasser im See ist heiß'.
In addition to describing temperature, heiß can also be used to describe the sensation of heat. For example, if someone says 'ich bin heiß', they are not necessarily saying that they have a fever, but rather that they feel hot or flushed. Similarly, if someone describes a room as 'heiß', they may mean that it feels stuffy or uncomfortably warm.
It's worth noting that there are other German words for 'hot' or 'warm' that may be more appropriate depending on the context. For example, 'wärmend' is often used to describe something that provides warmth, such as a blanket or jacket. Additionally, 'glühend' can be used to describe something that is glowing or red-hot.
