Eis

Definition

Eis (German for ice) refers to the solid state of water that occurs at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). It is formed when water freezes, creating a hard, cold substance with a crystalline structure.

Opposite

The opposite of Eis is Wasser (water) in its liquid state. When the temperature rises above 0 degrees Celsius, ice melts and transforms back into liquid water.

Synonyms

A synonym for Eis is Gefrorenes (frozen). Both terms can be used interchangeably to describe the solid form of water.
