- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. Episode 159 already. Luna: I can't believe it! We've covered so much weather. What's today's topic? Lucas: Winter weather. Since we've done spring and autumn, it's time for the cold season. Luna: Perfect timing. It's freezing where I am right now. Lucas: Let's start with the basics. 'It's cold.' In Korean: 날씨가 추워요. Luna: 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: Good. Repeat after me: 날씨가 추워요. Luna: 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: Now, if it's snowing, you say: 눈이 와요. Luna: 눈이 와요. Lucas: Right. 눈 is snow, and 와요 means 'comes' or 'is falling'. Luna: So 눈이 와요 literally means 'snow is coming'. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's use them. I'll ask: 오늘 날씨가 어때요? How's the weather today? Luna: Uh, 오늘 날씨가 추워요? And 눈이 와요? Lucas: Almost perfect. You can say: 오늘 날씨가 추워요. 그리고 눈이 와요. And means 'and'. Luna: 오늘 날씨가 추워요. 그리고 눈이 와요. Lucas: You got it. Now, if you want to talk about winter weather generally, it's 겨울 날씨. Luna: 겨울 날씨. Lucas: 겨울 is winter. So 겨울 날씨 means winter weather. Luna: I love winter. Maybe I can say: 겨울 날씨를 좋아해요. Lucas: Nice try! But 좋아해요 is for liking. Let's keep it simple. Just 겨울 날씨. Luna: Okay, 겨울 날씨. Lucas: Now, a fun word: 눈사람. Snowman. Luna: 눈사람? 눈 is snow, and 사람 is person. So snow person! Lucas: Exactly. 눈사람. Try it. Luna: 눈사람. Lucas: Good. And after playing in the snow, you might want a warm drink. 핫초코. Hot chocolate. Luna: 핫초코. That sounds like 'hot choco'. Lucas: Yes, it's a loanword. 핫초코 주세요 means 'Please give me hot chocolate'. Luna: 핫초코 주세요. Luna: 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: It's snowing? Luna: 눈이 와요. Lucas: Winter weather? Luna: 겨울 날씨. Lucas: Snowman? Luna: 눈사람. Lucas: Hot chocolate? Luna: 핫초코. Lucas: You're a natural. Now, let's put it together. Imagine you're looking out the window. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: You see snow and want to say: It's snowing and it's cold. Luna: 눈이 와요. 그리고 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if you're out making a snowman, you could say: 눈사람 만들고 있어요. I'm making a snowman. Luna: 눈사람 만들고 있어요. That's a bit advanced. Lucas: We'll save that for another time. For now, just 눈사람. Luna: Got it. 눈사람 is snowman. Lucas: You know, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with these phrases, listener support keeps this ad-free.

But today, let's focus on weather. So 겨울 날씨를 좋아해요 would be 'I like winter weather'. Luna: 겨울 날씨를 좋아해요. Lucas: Try it with 'I don't like winter weather' – 저는 겨울 날씨를 싫어해요. Luna: 저는 겨울 날씨를 싫어해요. That's a useful one. Lucas: For now, let's stick with positive. One more phrase: 날씨가 너무 추워요. It's too cold. Luna: 날씨가 너무 추워요. Lucas: Right. 너무 means too or very. Luna: So if I'm freezing, I can say: 날씨가 너무 추워요. Lucas: Exactly. Let's review all five phrases today. Luna: Okay. Lucas: First: 날씨가 추워요. Luna: 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: 눈이 와요. Luna: 눈이 와요. Lucas: 겨울 날씨. Luna: 겨울 날씨. Lucas: 눈사람. Luna: 눈사람. Lucas: 핫초코. Luna: 핫초코. Lucas: Great job. Now can you say: It's snowing and it's cold. Luna: 눈이 와요. 그리고 날씨가 추워요. Lucas: Perfect. Now, make a sentence with 눈사람. Luna: 눈사람 예뻐요? That means 'Is the snowman pretty?' Lucas: Nice try! But we haven't covered that. Let's keep it simple. 눈사람 좋아해요? Do you like snowmen? Luna: 눈사람 좋아해요? Yes, I do.
