Really or Very?

	Which is more correct? Example: It is really hot. Or It is very hot. Anyone have any ideas?

	I think both are right; don't quote me on this one, though. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

	Sorry if I'm bumping this since I'm replying so late! And if you're asking this for a homework assignment, sorry I'm so late in replying at all. Both are correct, like Dameon says. It just depends on the situation you're in to which one you use. - "How hot is it?" "Very hot." ~ "Are you okay?" "Yeah, it's just really hot." - The "very" is a measure. The "really" is an emphasis.
