सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Rainy days are often seen as romantic or nostalgic. Many K-Dramas feature a 'sharing an umbrella' scene which is a major romantic milestone. The sound of rain is said to sound like pajeon frying. This leads to a huge spike in sales for flour and makgeolli during the rainy season. On rainy days, delivery apps like Baemin or Coupang Eats often have longer wait times due to high demand and slower delivery speeds for safety. Historically, rain was a blessing from the heavens. Rituals called 'Gije-je' were performed during droughts to ask for rain.

💡

Drop the 'It'

Never start a weather sentence with '그것' (it). Just start with the weather noun.

⚠️

Watch the Particle

Always use '가' after '비'. Using '를' (object marker) would mean you are 'coming the rain', which makes no sense.
