The temperature is more than 40°C in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

온도 (ondo) – “temperature”
가 (ga) – subject marker attached to 온도, marking “temperature” as the subject of the sentence
사십 (sasip) – “forty,” the number 40 expressed in a formal numeral form
도 (do) – “degrees,” the unit for temperature
이상 (isang) – “or above” or “more than,” indicating a minimum threshold
이에요 (ieyo) – the polite ending of the sentence meaning “is”

Translation: “The temperature is 40 degrees or above.”

Tips to remember:
• The subject marker 가 (ga) immediately follows the noun 온도 (temperature) to indicate what the sentence is about.
• Numbers like 사십 (40) precede its unit 도 (degrees), similar to English “40 degrees.”
• 이상 (above) is useful in many contexts to denote “not less than” or “exceeding.” You might pair it with 이하 for “below” when needed.
• The ending 이에요 (ieyo) is a polite, common way to state facts in daily conversation.

Alternate ways to say “The temperature is more than 40°C”:
• 기온 (gion) is another term for “temperature.” For example:
 – 기온이 사십 도 이상이에요. (Gion-i sasip do isang-ieyo.)
• Using 넘다 (neomda, “to exceed”):
 – 온도가 사십 도를 넘어요. (Ondo-ga sasip do-reul neomeoyo.)
• A more formal alternative:
 – 온도가 사십 도 이상입니다. (Ondo-ga sasip do isang-imnida.)
