- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and as always, I'm here with Luna. Luna: Hey everyone. Today we're talking about something we both know well — rainy days. Lucas: And if you've been following along with our camping episodes, you know we've been out in nature a lot. Rain is a natural next step. Luna: Totally. So let's jump right in. Lucas, how do I say 'it's raining' in Korean? Lucas: That's 비가 와요. Let's break it down: 비 means rain, and 와요 means 'comes' or 'is coming'. So literally, 'rain is coming.' Luna: 비가 와요. 비가 와요. Lucas: Perfect. And if it's raining a lot, you say 비가 많이 와요. 많이 means 'a lot.' Luna: So 비가 많이 와요 is 'it's raining a lot.' That's useful for a storm. Lucas: Exactly. Now, imagine you're about to leave the house and you want to say 'take an umbrella.' That's 우산을 가져가요. 우산 is umbrella, and 가져가요 means 'take' or 'bring.' Luna: 우산을 가져가요. That sounds like something I'd say to myself every morning. Lucas: And if you forgot it, you might say 우산이 필요해요 — 'I need an umbrella.' 필요해요 means 'need.' Luna: 우산이 필요해요. I've said that many times while getting soaked. Lucas: And if you didn't take one, you'd say 비에 젖었어요 — 'I got wet in the rain.' 젖었어요 means 'got wet.' Luna: 비에 젖었어요. That's a perfect phrase for a rainy day story. Lucas: Let's practice all five together. First, 비가 와요. Luna: 비가 와요. Lucas: 비가 많이 와요. Luna: 비가 많이 와요. Lucas: 우산을 가져가요. Luna: 우산을 가져가요. Lucas: 우산이 필요해요. Luna: 우산이 필요해요. Lucas: 비에 젖었어요. Luna: 비에 젖었어요. Lucas: You're doing great. Now let's put them in a little scene. Say it's morning and it's raining. You look outside. Luna: 비가 와요. And it's coming down hard, so I think 비가 많이 와요. Lucas: So you grab your umbrella — 우산을 가져가요. But wait, you can't find it. Luna: Then I'd say 우산이 필요해요. Lucas: And if you run out anyway, you'll be saying 비에 젖었어요. Luna: Such a realistic morning. I love it. Lucas: Now, we're about halfway through our time together, and I want to mention something that keeps this show going. Luna: Yeah, we're completely ad-free, and that's a choice we make.
