Bedeutung
To state that precipitation in the form of rain is occurring.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Rainy days are synonymous with eating Pajeon (scallion pancakes) and drinking Makgeolli (rice wine). This is because the sound of rain is said to resemble the sound of frying Jeon. Rain is a major romantic trope. Sharing an umbrella (우산) is a sign of growing intimacy between characters. In Seoul, convenience stores prominently display umbrellas near the entrance as soon as '비가 와요' to cater to commuters. Historically, rain was seen as a gift from the heavens, and rituals (Giuje) were performed during droughts to make the rain 'come'.
The 'Umbrella' Rule
Whenever you say '비가 와요', it's culturally polite to ask if the other person has an umbrella ('우산 있어요?').
Avoid '하다'
Never say '비가 해요'. This is the most common mistake for English speakers.

Add '주룩주룩' (ju-ruk-ju-ruk) to sound like a native when it's pouring!
