Latest / Learn Korean with Fexingo / Korean Weather - Rainy Day Recap
Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and today we're going to talk about something that happens all the time in spring and fall – rain. Luna: Rain, huh? That's perfect because I got caught in a surprise shower yesterday and I had no idea how to say any of it in Korean. So what do we start with? Lucas: Let's begin with the most basic one – 비가 와요. This means 'it's raining'. Say it with me slowly: 비가 와요. Luna: 비가 와요. It sounds kind of soft, like the rain itself. So if it's drizzling, I can say 비가 와요? Lucas: Exactly. Now let's add some intensity. If it's really coming down, you say 비가 많이 와요. That's 'it's raining a lot' or 'it's raining heavily'. Try it, Luna. Luna: 비가 많이 와요. Hmm, 많이 – that's 'a lot'. So 비가 와요 is rain falls, and 많이 makes it heavy rain. Got it. Lucas: Perfect. Now, what do you need when it rains? An umbrella. So you say 우산을 가져가요 – 'I'm taking an umbrella' or 'take an umbrella'. Let's say that: 우산을 가져가요. Luna: 우산을 가져가요. I remember 우산 from our umbrella lesson in the cloudy day episode. So this is like 'bring an umbrella' – really useful. Lucas: Right. But sometimes you forget, and then you realize you need one. That's when you say 우산이 필요해요 – 'I need an umbrella'. Give it a shot, Luna. Luna: 우산이 필요해요. I actually said this to myself yesterday when the sky opened up. So this one's already sticking. Lucas: And finally, if you forget, you might end up getting soaked. That's 비에 젖었어요 – 'I got wet in the rain'. Try that one. Luna: 비에 젖었어요. That's a bit of a mouthful. 비에... 젖었어요. So it's like 'rained on and became wet'. I like it. Lucas: Yeah, and you can use it for anything – your clothes, your shoes, your mood. Now, let's put them all together in a little scene. Imagine you're about to leave the house and Luna, you see dark clouds. Luna: Oh, I'd say 비가 와요? But wait, it's not raining yet, so maybe I'd say 흐려요 from our cloudy episode. But let's pretend it's already raining, so 비가 와요. Lucas: Good. Then you think, 우산을 가져가요. But you can't find it, so you say 우산이 필요해요. And then you step outside without it and – 비에 젖었어요. Luna: Oh no, that's a whole rainy day story. I love it. So we've got the basics down – 비가 와요, 비가 많이 와요, 우산을 가져가요, 우산이 필요해요, and 비에 젖었어요. Lucas: You got it. And before we keep going with more rainy day talk, I want to mention something. Fexingo has been helping you learn Korean, right?

No pressure, it just helps us keep going. Luna: Yeah, I think that's a nice way to keep the show clean. Now, what else do we have for rainy days? Maybe how to say 'the rain is cold' or something? Lucas: We could, but let's stick to our five phrases for today. Let's do a quick review. I'll say the English, you say the Korean, Luna. Luna: Okay, challenge accepted. Lucas: It's raining. Luna: 비가 와요. Lucas: It's raining a lot. Luna: 비가 많이 와요. Lucas: I'm taking an umbrella. Luna: 우산을 가져가요. Lucas: I need an umbrella. Luna: 우산이 필요해요. Lucas: I got wet in the rain. Luna: 비에 젖었어요. That one's still a bit tricky, but I'll practice. Lucas: You did great. And remember, repetition is key, so try to use these next time it rains. That's it for today's episode. I hope you enjoyed this rainy day recap. Join us next time for more Korean with Fexingo. Bye for now. Luna: Bye, everyone! And don't forget your umbrella.
