However, it can also be a verb in the present tense, meaning "to call" or "to name".
It is crucial to look at the context in which the word is used to understand its meaning.
For example:
* "Die Suppe ist heiß." (The soup is hot.)
* "Wie heißt du?" (What is your name?)
Therefore, without context, it's impossible to definitively determine the meaning of "heiße".
