뜻
Difficult times are often followed by better ones.
문화적 배경
The phrase is deeply linked to the 19th-century literary canon, specifically the 'Bibliothèque rose' book series which shaped the moral education of generations of French children. While used in Quebec, locals might also use 'Ça va bien aller' (It's going to go well), which became a massive cultural slogan during the 2020 pandemic, often accompanied by rainbows. In many African countries, the 'rain' is often seen as a blessing for crops, so the proverb might be interpreted more literally or with a slightly more positive nuance regarding the 'rain' itself.
The Power of the Comma
Always include a pause where the comma is when speaking. It builds the 'reveal' of the good weather.
Don't add 'est'
Adding 'est' (is) makes it a normal sentence and loses the 'proverb' feel. Keep it short!
