- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 146! Lucas, it is so sticky outside today. My hair is a mess. Lucas: Yeah, summer is really here. That's actually a perfect topic for today — talking about hot and humid weather in Korean. Luna: Oh, I need that. So how do I say 'The weather is hot'? Lucas: It's '날씨가 더워요'. Say it with me: 날씨가 더워요. Luna: 날씨가 더워요. 날씨가 더워요. Lucas: Good. Now, what about humid? In Korean, '습해요'. Luna: 습해요. That sounds like 'seu pae yo' — 습해요. Lucas: Exactly. So if you want to say 'The weather is hot and humid', you say '날씨가 덥고 습해요'. Luna: 날씨가 덥고 습해요. That's a mouthful. Let me try: 날씨가 덥고 습해요. Lucas: Perfect. Now, how do you ask 'How's the weather today?' — '오늘 날씨가 어때요?' Luna: 오늘 날씨가 어때요? That's useful. So I could say '오늘 날씨가 덥고 습해요?' Lucas: Right. You're asking 'Is the weather hot and humid today?' But normally you'd say '오늘 날씨가 어때요?' and someone might answer '덥고 습해요'. Luna: Got it. Let me practice these. 날씨가 더워요. 습해요. 날씨가 덥고 습해요. 오늘 날씨가 어때요? Lucas: You sound like a native already. Let's use them in a scene. Imagine you step outside and it's super hot and muggy. You text your friend: '오늘 날씨가 어때요?' Luna: And my friend replies '날씨가 덥고 습해요.' I'd say '아, 더워요.' Lucas: Exactly.
