Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 147! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know. And last time we talked about hot and humid weather. So today, let's go to the opposite end. Luna: Oh no, are we talking about winter? Because I am not ready. Lucas: We are. But don't worry – we'll start simple. First phrase: 날씨가 추워요. Luna: 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: Good. That means 'The weather is cold.' Repeat after me: 날씨가 추워요. Luna: 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: Perfect. So if you step outside and it's chilly, you can say 날씨가 추워요. Luna: 날씨가 추워요. I can feel the cold just saying it. Lucas: Now let's add wind. 바람이 불어요. That means 'The wind blows' or 'It's windy.' Say it with me: 바람이 불어요. Luna: 바람이 불어요. Lucas: Good. So if it's cold and windy, you can combine them: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. 'The weather is cold and windy.' Try it. Luna: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. That's a mouthful. Lucas: You got it. Practice that one a few times. And a handy question to ask: 오늘 날씨가 어때요? That means 'How is the weather today?' Luna: 오늘 날씨가 어때요? Lucas: Yeah. And you can answer with 날씨가 추워요 or 날씨가 좋아요 if it's nice. Let's do a little scene. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Imagine you meet your friend in the morning. You ask, 오늘 날씨가 어때요? Luna: 오늘 날씨가 어때요?... And I answer, 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: Exactly. Or if it's also windy, you can say 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Luna: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Lucas: Nice. Now, you know, a lot of people are learning Korean with us, and I love that Fexingo keeps these episodes ad-free.

So back to weather. Let's practice the full sentence again: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Luna: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Lucas: Good. Now, what if you want to say it's cold and windy but also want to emphasize the wind? You can say 바람이 많이 불어요 – 'The wind blows a lot.' But we'll save that for another time. Luna: Okay, so today we have: 날씨가 추워요, 바람이 불어요, 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요, and 오늘 날씨가 어때요? Lucas: Right. Let's do a quick review. I'll say it in English, you say it in Korean. Luna: Sounds good. Lucas: The weather is cold. Luna: 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: It's windy. Luna: 바람이 불어요. Lucas: The weather is cold and windy. Luna: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Lucas: How is the weather today? Luna: 오늘 날씨가 어때요? Lucas: Awesome. And remember, you can answer with 날씨가 추워요 or 날씨가 좋아요 if it's nice. Luna: I think I need to practice 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요 a few more times. Lucas: Let's say it together slowly: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Luna: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Lucas: Now at normal speed: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Luna: 날씨가 춥고 바람이 불어요. Lucas: You've got it. I'm proud of you. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. This was a good one. Now I can complain about the cold in Korean. Lucas: That's a useful skill. So practice these, and we'll see you next time on Learn Korean with Fexingo. Luna: Bye everyone!
