Bedeutung
Indicates that rain is falling.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Rainy days are synonymous with 'Pajeon' (scallion pancake) and 'Makgeolli' (rice wine). The sound of rain is said to resemble the sizzle of pancakes. Fashionable rain gear, especially colorful 'Rain Boots' (레인부츠), is a major trend during the summer monsoon season. Rain is a very common theme in K-Pop and Indie music, usually representing sadness, nostalgia, or a 'moody' atmosphere. Historically, rain was seen as a blessing from the heavens. Rituals called 'Gi-u-je' ({祈雨祭|기우제}) were performed during droughts to ask for rain.
Drop the 'ga'
In casual conversation, Koreans often just say '비 와요' instead of '비가 와요'.
Don't use 'it'
Never try to translate 'It' into Korean for weather. Just start with the noun 'Bi'.
