2024. 4. 8.

Hello Everyone~! ❤️

Hope you're all having an AMAZING day so far!!!!!! & using Teuida to practice Korean and Japanese~ The weather is finally getting so much warmer here in Korea and idk about you guys but it makes my mood SO much better! In honor of this amazing weather we're going to be doing a weather themed newsletter this week!

I figured it wasn't as common to learn about and would be really helpful for all of you~ As always, please leave me comments below and let me know what you'd like to read about next week!!! I love hearing from you guys 😄

❤️ From. Sherly

01. Let's start by learning the seasons!

봄 (beom) - spring
여름 (yeo-reum) - summer
가을 (ga-eul) - fall
겨울 (gyeo-ool) - winter

I have the PERFECT song for you to listen to to memorize the seasons :D I swear it will help them roll right off your tongue~! Okay, now that we have those down, let's learn some weather related phrases that you guys can use for the various seasons hehe ☀️

STOP!!!!!!! if you've read to this point leave me a comment telling me your favorite fruit 😄 even better if you can say it in Korean !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(yes this is a test to see if you guys actually read what I'm writing

pls leave me a response pls ❤️)

02. Hot/Cold

Let's start with describing if it is hot or cold - probably the most important/basic thing to describe when it comes to the weather ♨️

It's cold -- 추워요! / 너무 추워요 / 춥다
- 추워요 - it's cold (formal)
- 너무 추워요 - it's SO cold (formal)
- 추워- it's cold (informal)
- 너무 추워 - it's so cold (informal)

In a hypothetical scenario, someone might ask you: 오늘 날씨가 어때요? (oh-neul nal-ssi-ga eo-dae-yo?) and you could respond with:

오늘 너무 추워요!!!!

If you wanted to switch it around and say it was hot, just switch every 추워 to 더워 which means hot! -- NOT to be confused with 뜨거워 which means hot to the touch (like if you touched a hot pan) which cannot be used to describe the weather!

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

ps ignore the romanization for the hot (it is wrong it should be (deo-wo-yo)

03. Weather Idiom!!!!

Now that we have some of the basics about weather down (we will learn more next week~! if you guys enjoyed this) Let's learn a weather related Korean-idiom!!!! 😅

바람을 맞다

So, the korean word for wind is 바람 (ba-ram) 🌬️

and 맞다 (mat-da) means to be hit by something

This phrase literally means to be hit by the wind but the idiom means "to be stood up by someone" Say that you're supposed to be on a hinge date but you get stood up, you could say "나 바람 맞았어..." which means "I got stood up..."

HOPE THAT WAS HELPFUL but I hope no one will ever have to use this phrase 🤣
