And if you've been with us, you already know some weather basics. Today is all about spring flowers and warm weather. Perfect for a walk outside. Luna: I'm ready. Give me the first phrase. Lucas: Alright, the simplest way to say spring has come: 봄이 왔어요. Luna: 봄이 왔어요. That means spring has come, right? Lucas: Exactly. 봄 is spring, and 왔어요 means has come. Let's say it together. 봄이 왔어요. Luna: 봄이 왔어요. I can already feel the warm breeze. Lucas: And speaking of warm breeze, the next phrase is perfect for describing this weather: 날씨가 따뜻해요. Luna: 날씨가 따뜻해요. That means the weather is warm, right? Lucas: That's it. 날씨 is weather, and 따뜻해요 means is warm. So if you step outside and it's pleasant, you say 날씨가 따뜻해요. Luna: 날씨가 따뜻해요. Okay, this is perfect for spring. But what about the flowers? Lucas: Ah, you're eager. The next phrase is about flowers blooming: 꽃이 피어요. Luna: 꽃이 피어요. Flowers bloom. I love that. Lucas: And in spring, the most famous flowers might be cherry blossoms. So we say: 벚꽃이 예뻐요. Luna: 벚꽃이 예뻐요. Cherry blossoms are pretty. Oh, that's so good to know for a walk. Lucas: Now, if you want to suggest going to see the flowers, you can say: 꽃구경 가요. Luna: 꽃구경 가요. That sounds like let's go flower viewing. Am I right?
