- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 155 already! Lucas, it's been so hot lately. Lucas: I know, right? Perfect timing because today we're talking about hot weather in Korean. Luna: Oh, that's exactly what I need. I've been sweating just walking outside. Lucas: If Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language, here's something honest. A handful of listeners chip in monthly through buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo, and that's literally what funds making this many episodes. Luna: Yeah, it keeps the show ad-free and going. So if you can, that's awesome. Lucas: Exactly. Okay, back to the heat. Let's start with a basic phrase. '날씨가 더워요' means 'it's hot.' Repeat after me: 날씨가 더워요. Luna: 날씨가 더워요. Lucas: Good. '날씨' is 'weather,' '더워요' is 'hot.' Now, if it's really hot, you can say '너무 더워요' — 'it's too hot.' Say it with me: 너무 더워요. Luna: 너무 더워요. Lucas: Perfect. '너무' means 'too' or 'very.' So '너무 더워요' is 'it's too hot.' Luna: Can we also talk about temperature? Like 'the temperature is high'? Lucas: Great question. Yes, '온도가 높아요' means 'the temperature is high.' '온도' is 'temperature,' '높아요' is 'high.' Try it: 온도가 높아요. Luna: 온도가 높아요. Lucas: Awesome. Now, if you need to ask for the air conditioner, you can say '에어컨 켜 주세요' — 'please turn on the air conditioner.' Luna: 에어컨 켜 주세요. That's useful! '에어컨' is aircon, right? Lucas: Exactly. And finally, when you feel cool, you can say '시원해요' — 'it's cool' or 'it's refreshing.' Repeat: 시원해요. Luna: 시원해요. Ah, that feels nice to say. Lucas: Let's put them together. Imagine it's a hot day. You can say '날씨가 더워요. 너무 더워요. 온도가 높아요.' Then ask '에어컨 켜 주세요.' And after, '시원해요.' Luna: So: 날씨가 더워요. 너무 더워요. 온도가 높아요. 에어컨 켜 주세요. 시원해요. Lucas: That's it! I'll say them one more time. Listen and repeat: 날씨가 더워요. Luna: 날씨가 더워요. Lucas: 너무 더워요. Luna: 너무 더워요. Lucas: 온도가 높아요. Luna: 온도가 높아요. Lucas: 에어컨 켜 주세요. Luna: 에어컨 켜 주세요. Lucas: 시원해요. Luna: 시원해요. Lucas: Great job, Luna. Now, a quick scene: you walk into a cafe on a hot day. You say to the barista: '날씨가 너무 더워요. 에어컨 켜 주세요.' And they turn it on, and you say '시원해요.' Luna: That feels real. I can totally use that. Lucas: Excellent. Practice these phrases whenever you feel hot. Remember, if Fexingo helps you, consider supporting us at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo.
