δυνατή βροχή

heavy rain

意味

Rain falling intensely and in large amounts.

🌍

文化的背景

Rain is often celebrated in songs and poetry as a cleansing force, but in modern cities, it's a major logistical headache. Farmers distinguish between 'δυνατή βροχή' (which can wash away seeds) and 'ποτιστική βροχή' (gentle, soaking rain). Athens is notorious for flooding during heavy rain due to the 'Kifisos' river being paved over. On islands like Santorini, rain is rare and precious; 'δυνατή βροχή' is often seen as a blessing for the water cisterns.

The 'Strength' Rule

In Greek, most weather intensity is described with 'δυνατός' (strong). Strong wind, strong rain, strong sun!

⚠️

Gender Check

Don't forget that 'βροχή' is feminine. Using 'δυνατό' (neuter) is a very common beginner mistake.
