सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Rain in May is considered extremely valuable for crops. There is a saying that May rain is worth gold ('Aranyat érő májusi eső'). Rainy days in Budapest often lead to 'borongós' (gloomy) moods, which are celebrated in local cafes with coffee and cake. Many traditional folk songs begin with 'Esik az eső', often using the rain as a metaphor for tears or a setting for a sad story. Some Hungarians believe that if it rains on Medárd's day (June 8th), it will rain for the next 40 days.
Drop the 'eső'
In casual conversation, if it's obvious you're talking about rain, you can just say 'Esik.' (It's falling.)
No 'It'!
Never say 'Ez esik'. It's the most common beginner mistake. Just 'Esik az eső'.
