Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. And Episode 149! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know. We've covered so much weather vocabulary lately. Sunny, hot, humid, cold, windy. Luna: Right. But today we're going to talk about the opposite of sunny. Lucas: Exactly. Cloudy and rainy. Let's start with cloudy. In Korean, 'cloudy' is 흐리다. So to say 'It's cloudy,' you say: 날씨가 흐려요. Luna: 날씨가 흐려요. Lucas: Good. Try it again, a little slower. Luna: 날씨가 흐려요. Lucas: Perfect. So if you look outside and see gray skies, you can say: 날씨가 흐려요. Luna: What if it's actually raining? Lucas: Then you say 'It's raining.' 비가 와요. 비 means 'rain', and 와요 means 'comes'. Luna: 비가 와요. Lucas: Yes. And if it's raining heavily, you can say 비가 많이 와요. 많이 means 'a lot'. Luna: 비가 많이 와요. Lucas: Great. So imagine you're in Seoul and it's pouring. You might say: 우와, 비가 많이 와요. Luna: Right. And if the weather is just generally gloomy and unpleasant? Is there a word for that? Lucas: Yes. You can say 날씨가 궂어요. 궂다 means 'bad' or 'nasty' weather. Luna: 날씨가 궂어요. Lucas: Perfect. So today we have four phrases. Let's review them all: 날씨가 흐려요. 비가 와요. 비가 많이 와요. 날씨가 궂어요. Luna: 날씨가 흐려요, 비가 와요, 비가 많이 와요, 날씨가 궂어요. Lucas: Excellent. Now, let's use them in a little scene. Imagine you're planning a picnic. Luna: Oh no. Lucas: You check the weather. You say: 오늘 날씨가 어때요? And your friend says: 날씨가 흐려요. Luna: 날씨가 흐려요. Hmm. Then maybe: 비가 와요? Lucas: Right. And your friend says: 아니요, 아직 안 와요. But later: 비가 많이 와요. Luna: So the picnic is canceled. 날씨가 궂어요. Lucas: Exactly. So you have all the vocabulary you need for cloudy and rainy weather.
