We've talked about hot, cold, windy, rainy. But what about when it's clear and sunny? Luna: Oh, I love those days. How do you say 'clear' in Korean? Lucas: The word is 맑아요. Luna: 맑아요. Lucas: Good. It means 'it's clear' or 'clear weather.' Say it with me: 맑아요. Luna: 맑아요. That's a bit tricky at first. Lucas: You got it. Now, the opposite — 'cloudy' is 흐려요. Luna: 흐려요. Lucas: Perfect. So if you look outside and it's clear, you say 맑아요. If it's cloudy, 흐려요. Luna: 맑아요, 흐려요. Got it. And how do I ask about the weather? That's 날씨가 어때요? right? Lucas: Exactly. So you can ask 날씨가 어때요? and answer 맑아요 or 흐려요. Luna: Let me try. 날씨가 어때요? 맑아요. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's add 'today' — 오늘. So 오늘 날씨가 맑아요 means 'today's weather is clear.' Say it. Luna: 오늘 날씨가 맑아요. Lucas: And for cloudy: 오늘 날씨가 흐려요. Luna: 오늘 날씨가 흐려요. Lucas: Great. Let's do a quick scene. Imagine we're looking out the window. I'll ask you. Luna: Okay. Lucas: Luna, 날씨가 어때요? Luna: 오늘 날씨가 맑아요! Lucas: Ahh, yes. You nailed it. Now let's switch. I'll say it's cloudy. Luna: Okay, ask me. Lucas: 날씨가 어때요? Luna: 오늘 날씨가 흐려요. Lucas: Perfect. So to recap: 맑아요 for clear, 흐려요 for cloudy, and the question 날씨가 어때요? Luna: And you can add 오늘 at the beginning to say 'today's weather is...'. Lucas: Exactly. So go ahead and practice looking out your window. Describe the weather in Korean. Luna: I will. Thanks, Lucas. Lucas: Thanks for joining us on Fexingo. Keep practicing, and see you next time. Luna: Bye bye!
