wärmt

Wärmt is a German verb form. It is the third-person singular present indicative of wärmen, meaning to warm or to heat. It is used when the subject of the sentence is he, she, or it, for example: Der Raum wärmt sich langsam auf, or Die Heizung wärmt den Raum.

In terms of conjugation, wärmen in the present tense yields: ich wärme, du wärmst, er/sie/es wärmt, wir wärmen, ihr wärmt, sie wärmen. The verb can also appear in other tenses: the simple past and perfect tenses use standard weak-verb endings, and the present perfect is formed with hat gewärmt.

The verb wärmen describes making something warmer, whether a person, an object, or a space. It is used literally for heating (for example, a stove or a heater warms a room) and sometimes figuratively, such as to warm someone’s mood or heart (das Herz erwärmen). Phrases often involve warming hands, meals, or weather-exposed bodies, and it can also be used in the sense of increasing temperature or heat content.

Etymology and related forms: wärmen is derived from the adjective warm, with the standard German verb-forming suffix -en. Related words include Wärme (heat, warmth) and the related verb erwärmen (to warm up, to heat up further), which uses a prefix to indicate a more intense or extended warming.
