意味
Raining very heavily.
文化的背景
In villages, 'krhla' is still a vital tool. The idiom reflects a time when everyone had a garden and understood the exact flow of a watering can. Rain idioms are often linked to saints' days. For example, St. Medard (June 8th) is associated with long periods of heavy rain. In cities like Bratislava, this phrase is often used with a touch of sarcasm when the modern sewer system fails during a storm. Poets use the 'pouring' imagery to contrast the harshness of nature with the warmth of the 'izba' (room) inside.
Use 'Leje' for impact
While 'Prší ako z krhly' is correct, 'Leje' sounds much more natural and emphasizes the 'pouring' action.
Watch the Preposition
Always say 'z krhly' (from the watering can). Saying 'v krhle' or 's krhlou' will change the meaning entirely.
