비옷

비옷 (bi-ot) is an A1 level noun that refers to a raincoat, but it's important to note that it's less commonly used in everyday conversation than the more prevalent term, 레인코트 (rein-koteu), which is a loanword from English.

While both terms are understood, 비옷 carries a slightly more traditional or even dated feel for some native speakers, whereas 레인코트 is widely recognized and frequently used due to its direct adoption from English.

You'll often hear 레인코트 in various contexts, from weather forecasts to fashion discussions. It's good to be aware of 비옷 as it might appear in older texts or specific regional dialects, but for daily communication, 레인코트 is your go-to word for 'raincoat'.

Understanding this nuance helps you sound more natural and current when speaking Korean.
