Latest / Learn Korean with Fexingo / Korean Weather - Snowy & Snowing
Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. Ready for episode 84? Luna: Absolutely, Lucas. I've been waiting for this. What are we learning today? Lucas: Since we've covered sunny, cloudy, rainy, and windy weather, I thought we'd tackle snowy weather. Winter is coming, after all. Luna: Oh, I love snow. Okay, let's start. How do I say 'it's snowing' in Korean? Lucas: The phrase is '눈이 와요.' Let's break it down. '눈' means snow, '이' is a subject marker, and '와요' means 'comes' or 'is coming'. So literally, 'snow is coming.' Luna: 눈이 와요. That's pretty straightforward. Let me try: 눈이 와요. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if it's snowing a lot, you can say '눈이 많이 와요.' '많이' means 'a lot' or 'much'. Luna: 눈이 많이 와요. So if I look outside and see heavy snow, I'd say that. Lucas: Exactly. And after the snow stops, you'd say '눈이 그쳤어요.' '그쳤어요' means 'stopped'. Luna: 눈이 그쳤어요. Good. So if I'm talking about snow, I can say it's snowing, snowing a lot, or stopped. Lucas: Right. And one more useful phrase: when the ground is slippery from snow or ice, say '길이 미끄러워요.' '길' means 'road' or 'path', and '미끄러워요' means 'slippery'. Luna: 길이 미끄러워요. That's important for safety. So if I go out in the snow, I should be careful. Lucas: Definitely. Let's practice a little scene. Imagine you look out the window and see snow. What do you say? Luna: 눈이 와요! Lucas: Then your friend asks if it's snowing a lot. You look again and say...? Luna: 눈이 많이 와요. Lucas: Later, the snow stops. You say...? Luna: 눈이 그쳤어요. Lucas: And when you go outside, you feel the ground is slippery. You say...? Luna: 길이 미끄러워요. Perfect. Lucas: Great job. Now let's do a quick review. Repeat after me: 눈이 와요. Luna: 눈이 와요. Lucas: 눈이 많이 와요. Luna: 눈이 많이 와요. Lucas: 눈이 그쳤어요. Luna: 눈이 그쳤어요. Lucas: 길이 미끄러워요. Luna: 길이 미끄러워요.

Lucas: Now, let's imagine you're walking in the snow. You see a friend and say, '눈이 많이 와요. 길이 미끄러워요.' They'll know exactly what you mean. Luna: That's cool. I feel ready for a snowy day conversation. Lucas: Excellent. Keep practicing these phrases, and next time it snows, you'll be all set. Thanks for joining us on Fexingo. See you next time. Luna: Bye, everyone! 눈이 와요!
