The English phrase "you're hot asf" can be translated into Spanish as estás buenísimo.
This phrase is an informal way to tell someone that they are extremely physically attractive. It carries a strong sexual connotation.
Which one should you use?
While estás buenísimo/a implies a high level of sexual attractiveness, the phrase eres guapísimo/a focuses more on conventional facial beauty and aesthetic attractiveness.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In Spain, the phrase Tienes un cuerpazo is used to say "You have an amazing body".
How does it change in a sentence?
The suffix -ísimo/a is a superlative used to intensify the adjective, functioning similarly to "asf" or "extremely" in this context.
Did you know?
- While English uses 'hot' to describe temperature and attraction, Spanish uses caliente for temperature and arousal, but rarely to describe someone as generally 'attractive'.
- In some Latin American slang, instead of using buenísimo, people might use the word rico/a to mean 'hot', which literally translates to 'delicious' or 'rich'.
- While estás buenísimo focuses on physical appeal, if you called someone eres bueno, you might actually be saying they are a 'good person' with high moral character.
