뜻
Commenting on the sunny weather.
문화적 배경
The Dutch are obsessed with weather apps like 'Buienradar'. Even if it's 'prachtig weer' now, they will check the app to see exactly when the next rain cloud arrives. In Flanders, you might hear 'Het is schoon weer'. While 'schoon' means 'clean' in the Netherlands, in Belgium it is the standard word for 'beautiful'. Complaining about the weather is just as common as praising it. If it's too sunny, a Dutch person might say it's 'benauwd' (stuffy/humid). The 'eerste zonnestralen' (first rays of sun) in spring are a national event. People will sit outside even if it's only 12 degrees Celsius.
The 'Hè' Factor
Add 'hè?' to the end to make it a question. It's the most natural way to start a conversation. 'Prachtig weer vandaag, hè?'
Don't over-elaborate
Weather talk is meant to be brief. Don't give a 5-minute lecture on meteorology unless asked.

자주 묻는 질문
4 질문No, it's perfectly fine, though 'lekker' is more common among close friends.
Because 'weer' is a neuter noun, so it takes 'het'.
Yes! If it's a cold but sunny day with a blue sky, it's still 'prachtig weer'.
'Mooi' is 'nice/pretty', while 'prachtig' is 'beautiful/magnificent'. 'Prachtig' is stronger.
