- Lucas: Hey Luna, we're back for another episode of Learn Korean with Fexingo. I heard you had some snow where you are. Luna: Yes, it was so pretty! And it made me think of all the snow words we learned. But can we go over them again? I want to make sure I remember. Lucas: Of course. That's what we're here for. Let's start with the most basic one. 눈이 와요. Luna: 눈이 와요. Lucas: Great. So 눈 is snow, and 와요 means it comes or it falls. So 눈이 와요 literally means snow is coming. We use it to say it's snowing. Luna: So when I see snow falling, I can say 눈이 와요. Lucas: Exactly. And if it's really coming down, you can say 눈이 많이 와요. 많이 means a lot. Luna: 눈이 많이 와요. It's snowing a lot. Lucas: Perfect. Now, what do you like to do when it snows a lot? Luna: I love building snowmen. How do I say that? Lucas: 눈사람을 만들어요. 눈사람 is snowman, and 만들어요 means I make. So 눈사람을 만들어요. Luna: 눈사람을 만들어요. That's a fun one to say. Lucas: It rolls off the tongue nicely, doesn't it? So we've got 눈이 와요, 눈이 많이 와요, and 눈사람을 만들어요. Luna: Yeah, but I also remember we had a phrase for when snow is falling gently. Like snowflakes drifting down. Lucas: Ah, that's 눈이 내려요. 내려요 means it falls down softly. So 눈이 내려요 is like snow is falling. Luna: 눈이 내려요. I love that image. Lucas: And finally, when you look out the window and think it's beautiful, you can say 눈이 예뻐요. 예뻐요 means pretty. Luna: 눈이 예뻐요. The snow is pretty. Lucas: Exactly. So let's put them all together. 눈이 와요, 눈이 많이 와요, 눈사람을 만들어요, 눈이 내려요, 눈이 예뻐요. Luna: That's a lot to remember. But I'll practice. Lucas: You know, we've been doing this for over 200 episodes now, and one thing I love is that we keep adding just a few phrases at a time. It really sticks. Luna: Yeah, and it helps that we have such a fun time doing it. I think that's why I keep coming back. Lucas: And we're able to make these episodes because listeners like you support the show. We don't run ads or anything like that, so if you want to help us keep it that way, you can head to buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. It's a simple way to say thanks. Luna: Yeah, it's a nice way to keep the show going without all the interruptions. Every little bit helps. Lucas: So back to the snow. Imagine you're looking outside and it's snowing hard. What do you say? Luna: 눈이 많이 와요. Lucas: Perfect. And if you want to go out and build a snowman? Luna: 눈사람을 만들어요. Lucas: And if a friend asks you how the snow looks? Luna: 눈이 예뻐요. Lucas: See, you've got it already. Now let's do a little scene. You're walking on a snowy street and you see a child pointing up. He says... Lucas: 눈이 와요. Luna: And I look up and say, 눈이 내려요.
