Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for another tiny lesson? Lucas: Absolutely. We've talked about hot and humid, cold and windy. Today, let's talk about a beautiful clear day. Luna: Oh, like when the sky is blue and the sun is shining? I love those days. Lucas: Me too. So in Korean, when the weather is clear and sunny, you can say: 날씨가 맑아요. Luna: 날씨가 맑아요. Lucas: Good. 맑아요 means 'clear' or 'bright'. So 날씨가 맑아요 is 'the weather is clear'. Luna: 날씨가 맑아요. I can imagine saying that on a perfect spring morning. Lucas: Exactly. Now, if the sun is really strong, you can say: 햇빛이 강해요. Luna: 햇빛이 강해요. That means 'the sunlight is strong'? Lucas: Yep. 햇빛 is sunlight, 강해요 means strong. So 햇빛이 강해요. Luna: 햇빛이 강해요. I might need sunglasses if 햇빛이 강해요. Lucas: Right. And on a clear day, there are no clouds. You can say: 구름이 없어요. Luna: 구름이 없어요. No clouds. Lucas: 구름 is cloud, 없어요 means there isn't. So 구름이 없어요. Luna: 구름이 없어요. So if I'm looking at a clear blue sky, I can say 날씨가 맑아요 and 구름이 없어요. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's put it together. How do you ask 'How's the weather today?' You already know this. Luna: 오늘 날씨가 어때요? Lucas: Exactly. So if someone asks 오늘 날씨가 어때요? and it's a beautiful day, you can answer: 날씨가 맑아요. 햇빛이 강해요. 구름이 없어요. Luna: 날씨가 맑아요. 햇빛이 강해요. 구름이 없어요. That's a great answer. Lucas: And of course you can simply say 날씨가 좋아요, meaning 'the weather is good'. Luna: 날씨가 좋아요. That's a classic. Lucas: Let's do a quick practice. I'll ask, you answer. 오늘 날씨가 어때요? Luna: 날씨가 맑아요. 햇빛이 강해요. 구름이 없어요. 날씨가 좋아요. Lucas: Perfect. You nailed it. Luna: Thanks.

You check the sky and say: 구름이 없어요. 날씨가 맑아요. Picnic time! Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice one more time. Repeat after me: 날씨가 맑아요. Luna: 날씨가 맑아요. Lucas: 햇빛이 강해요. Luna: 햇빛이 강해요. Lucas: 구름이 없어요. Luna: 구름이 없어요. Lucas: 날씨가 좋아요. Luna: 날씨가 좋아요. Lucas: Great job. Now you can describe a clear sunny day in Korean. Luna: Practice these phrases, and next time you see a beautiful day, try saying them out loud. Lucas: Thanks for joining us on Fexingo. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time. Luna: Bye for now!
