✕Common Mistakes
Ja, es ist sehr warm.
‘Sehr’ means ‘very’ and changes the nuance; it’s not a direct replacement for ‘schön’ in this context.
Ja, es ist warm schön.
Adjectives in German follow a fixed order; ‘schön’ must precede ‘warm’ when used adverbially.
Ja, das ist schön warm.
Word order is incorrect; the verb must stay in second position and the adjective pair stays together.

Ja, es ist herrlich warm.

Cultural Tip
Talking about the weather is a classic small‑talk topic in German‑speaking countries. ‘Schön warm’ is a typical way to describe a pleasant spring day, and it carries a slightly more positive, relaxed tone than just ‘warm’. In the north, people might say ‘es ist schön mild’ instead.
