Significado
Stating that there is rainfall.
Contexto cultural
Rain is the most celebrated weather. It marks the end of the 'Grishma' (Summer) heat. Schools often have 'Rainy Day' holidays if the streets flood. The month of 'Asharh' is the peak of monsoon. Poets like Tagore and Nazrul have written thousands of poems about the sound of 'বৃষ্টি পড়ছে'. Rainy days are incomplete without 'Khichuri'. It's a social ritual to gather and eat this when it's raining. In big cities, 'বৃষ্টি পড়ছে' is often followed by a check on the 'waterlogging' status of the streets.
Use Onomatopoeia
To sound like a native, add 'ঝমঝম করে' (jhom-jhom kore) if the rain is heavy. It adds great flavor to your speech.
Don't say 'It'
Never try to translate 'It is raining' as 'ইহা বৃষ্টি পড়ছে'. Just start with 'বৃষ্টি'.

Remember 'porchhe' also means 'reading'. Context is everything. Rain doesn't read!

4 preguntasYes, 'বৃষ্টি হচ্ছে' is very common and perfectly natural. 'পড়ছে' is slightly more descriptive of the physical falling.
You can say 'বৃষ্টি পড়তে শুরু করেছে' (Brishti porte shuru koreche).
Bengali doesn't have grammatical gender for nouns like Spanish or French, so you don't need to worry!
