learn_russianI'm trying to make sense of the word "hot" used as an adverb, as I'm told it is, eg. горячо.
In English we only use 'hot' as an adjective; по Русски, "горячий"
So, in Russian, if I'm dropped into a vat of boiling oil, do I die горячо?
If I serve food to you and the food is hot, we'd say, "I served it warm." (or hot); but obviously hot is still an adjective describing the food. How can hot be an adverb? I don't get it.
